I did not know to do this. thanks.

Okay, now I see what you mean. However, I do not turn right when there is a golf cart in the lane beside me, or even close behind. They have the right of way because they're on the right. I still would not enter a golf cart lane in my car. I thought they were for carts only. They're not even wide enough for a car.

Could we hear what others do in this situation?

Cyndy also has a point. As Rev Tavye says, "You are both right."

That is a good suggestion as illustrated on several roundabout signs:024:

Please do NOT DRIVE your autos in the GOLF CART tunnels!

Several times a year they have to be extracted !

I have noticed that having a little dog in your lap while driving is popular here.

In some cases, primarily on the main roads such a Morse, the golf carts must exit the golf cart lane and merge with car traffic before approaching the intersection. The reason for that is probably what you're talking about.

One of the problems that I see pretty much every where, is that drivers don't know the right of way rules for intersections. I can't tell you how many times I've approached an intersection and a car that has either gotten their before me or is on my right sits there and waits for me to go. When I finally decide that they are going to go first, I begin to proceed and, of course, they begin to proceed at the same time. Then we play the little start stop game until one of us goes. It's very simple the car that gets to the intersection first has the right of way. If two cars get there at the same time the one on the right has the right of way. It's simple but I would bet that over half the people on the road don't understand it.

Besides that we only know how to make Michigan left turns

That's right! You go THROUGH the intersection first... how to do that in a roundabout?!

Can you just post the right of way rules? thanks.

Go point. Also cars are bigger than us and I will always give them wide berth! The Doc is right, common sense.

Essentially you will merge into the lane, much like a golf cart when making a left turn will merge into the car lane. Going into the cart lane is not taboo, you will eventually turn right through it. So it will require some adjusting of your speed but it will avoid the cart driver having to figure what your intentions are. Also you won't be coming to a complete stop in the roadway which may confuse the car behind you. Planning ahead is part of driving, if you see the golf cart is going to be straddling your car at the intersection, then adjust your speed to fall in behind that cart.

Here's my original post, "I've seen countless times car drivers not know what to do when there is golf cart traffic to their right in the cart lane and they want to make a right turn. They stop, they wave at the cart driver, they speed up to pass the cart. Just like a golf cart enters the car lane to make a left turn, you should move to your right and enter the golf cart lane before making your right turn. This way the golf cart driver and you the car driver will know each other's sequence. So next time you need to make a right turn, put on your right turn signal and slide over to the right a short ways before the intersection in a good position with carts ahead and behind you. You'll find that making right turns will become a cinch."

I have to disagree a bit.....be paying attention when the light turns green and don't step on the gas like a jack rabbit! Look both ways first. You never know who's running the red light. It could save your life.

The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the chance you have of getting hit.

Er... what kind & color car do you drive?
