I assume the "crashers" get billed? I assume their insurance pays? Are there really 10 per day? How much does the crasher get charged? How much does an average repair really cost?

I assume this has been going on since The Villages began? Maybe it's time for a different solution?

Perhaps equipping the Guard Shack attendants with Paint Ball guns?
Skin in the game: Have strips made of an abrasive material hang from the gates. You try to dash under the gate as it closes and this material scuffs your car's paint. Some entitles people will only modify their behavior due to self interest.
