If the crafters can put card copies of your gate card in your outside mirror, why couldn't the powers to be do the same, with a step-up in the quality of the copy? I thought I read where the software was going to be updated for the mechanisms of the arms.

OK, how would a gate card chip in the side view mirror prevent someone from crashing a gate? In fact, knowing, they don't have to fully stop, pull out a card after opening a window, and then wave it at the sensor might lead to even more gate crashing. I suspect more gates are crashed on the exit side, perhaps Two Plane has those statistics. But the underlying question remains: How many gates are crashed due to their so called "poor visibility" as opposed to poor driver vision, poor driver skills, drivers who can't see over their steering wheel, drunk drivers, speeding towards the gates and trying to piggyback with the vehicle ahead?
