Golf Carts vs Gate Arms

This has nothing to do with striping but I think it makes your point about others making stupid decisions and driving defensively because you never know. These are just the videos of people breaking the Delmar gate.

It makes me wonder how safe it really is out there. This is real data collecting.
I looked closer at the dates. Maybe the time stamps are incorrect.

7/29/13, 7/22/13, 8/25/13, 8/26/13 [2 months 8 incidents]

Than 10 months with no recordings. It would be silly to think no incidents during this time.

9/13/12, 9/13/12, 9/10/12, 9/8/12, 9/7/12 [6 days 5 incidents]

I don't know what to think. Are there many unsafe drivers out there?

I know the subject is stripes not gates and $2-5 doesn't matter to me. Get the stripes. I don't think this sets any president for skyrocketing future spending on safety or softball fields.

It's just my curiosity about how many people out there may not be qualified to react quickly when a gate comes down, or animal jumps out or someone is traveling in the wrong lane for any reason.
