Here is what happened to me today.

We were coming off Buena Vista and entering the gate to go east on Pinellas. We were in the left lane.

The guy in the right lane used his card to open his gate and went through. The guy behind tried to follow him closely behind, but the gate started coming down so he had to quickly stop.

In the meantime, I used my card to open the left gate and went through. Than I noticed the person in the right lane had gotten through and pulled very closely behind me. I drove 30 mph down Pinellas and he tailgated me until I turned left into Bonifay.

I thought it was pretty funny.
