Had a beat up old car sneak in behind me just this week. For crying out loud, push the da*n red button if you don't have a card. How hard is that?
Trying to project what others are thinking, if they are thinking is clearly a waste of time.
Solutions are far more productive. I seems to me that not all the gates work the same.

Clearly the gates in work differently that the gates on the way out.

Far a security, does anyone think someone with criminal intent could not get through the gates. If, no other way than to drive through the gates. If, the car is stolen they do not care about a few scratches.

One SOLUTION is to have an opener trigger installed in your car and golf cart. We don't have one but it is available. Aside, perhaps because of type of windows, our card does not work through the glass. I understand some do. That makes the gates more of a pain in the rain.
