If the cart is positioned far enough ahead of the cart, he does have the right of way at a merge point. Also note that the speed limit for cars in the merge zones drops to 20 mph (read the sign). Therefore a car should never be overtaking a cart going its speed limit of 20 in a merge zone. Unfortunately, many car drivers feel that the merge is a race to the finish line, I'v had cars speed up to about 50 to get there first

Yup some folks really seem to have received their drivers licenses at Sears and Roebucks...but on the flip side, driving in The Villages does bring back some wonderful childhood memories for me....my brother and I spent a lot of money as kids at the arcade one summer vacation trying to get one of those 'back seat driver's licenses' out of a machine...I'm reminded of that license whenever we have another couple in the car with us and the wives are both sitting in the back

The traffic circles and many of the large plaza parking lots, will often bring back memories of a ride in the amusement parks that we referred to as "The Dodge 'ems" or 'bumper cars'

(I am referring to a traffic light intersection, not a 4 way stop sign)

Was talking about stops signs not stop lights.

Go to DMV pick up a copy of The Uniform Traffic Code.
If a cart runs into the back of your car the driver is liable. If your car runs into the back of a cart, your liable.
One code applies to all.

Always remember from Driver's Ed that no one "has" the right away, unless it is given to them.
