Stay alert and I'm waiting for some **** **** someday to stop as soon as he gets through the gate, but of course the sensors will sense that he is there and not lower the gate. One could question the legality of having these gates on a public road, but that's another topic. For those of you who don't have good reactions, I definitely don't recommend this activity otherwise do your bit to save the planet.

FYI John,
Many times, for various reasons, I have had to hit the brakes coming through gates. Tailgaters would have have had a hard time explaining to the court why they thought it would be a good idea to not spend less than a minute for the gate to come down and go back up again.
Tailgaters don't/can't see what the driver ahead can see and might react to. Be safe! Back off and wait your turn!
