True, but irrelevant in a no fault state like Michigan or Florida.

Not irrelevant in the case of bodily injury or traffic infractions.

Yep people need to stop waving golf carts and bicyclist through at the gate. They get use to it and think it’s the norm.
When I’m in a golf cart, I do not make eye contact with any car driver as I wait for the traffic to clear. I deliberately look right. Eventually the car driver “gets it” and proceeds through the gate. Car drivers have the right of way. Cart drivers must wait for the traffic to clear.

This is how conversation and discussions evolve. It is normal to go “off topic” in a thread. Keeps things interesting, IMHO.

Absolutely! We aren’t sure what the OP’s previous vocation was, but if they were in entertainment, could this be a “pole dancer” situation? I

Exactly what I do, even when my wife tells me to go.

Also stopping 2-3 cart lengths away from the intersection seems to help keep auto traffic moving.
