Are some people just born stupid (those that knock down gates/those that attempt to cause/cause accidents) or do they acquire that trait as soon as they enter the bubble?
What would the world be like without stupidIMO that's the main reason there are gates to stop traffic and give time for carts to cross. But, cart drivers have to wait till car clears the gate exit. I am very watchful for all carts! I think some don't realize they don't have the right way all the time? Another thing, I never criticize gas golf carts for not completely stopping at stop signs when I am not inline yet, due to the cart will die and have to be restarted and the centrifugal clutch engaged to get it moving again. But, that's me
