Yesterday coming from UPS store and square one in golf cart stopped to push the gate button.

Gate started up hesitated At moving 2’ then back down. Pressed the button again gate slowly went up and they proceeded to swing sideways and fall across the road. Good thing I didn’t rush the gate.

This would be the third gate in a week that I have watched fall down all by itself. Wonder if they count those 10 gate crashes are in the numbers he spoke of. When in reality it could be the bolts just giving away, or poorly installed bolts. So yes gate crashed, but no vehicle involved.

The camera will pick up car plate, but carts have no I’d, so once a year TV posts the pics and ask for help to Id carts. Last post fee was $250. But that been awhile
