18 years in The Villages and never came close to hitting a gate, fully understand that the county owns the roads, anybody is entitled to use the roads. Always approach the gates with caution. Never found a reason to challenge a gate.
I think of gates like a caution, not as an obstacle. Somewhat like a railroad crossing.

If you have ever hit a gate, I would bet that you are responsible. If not responsible, I would expect that you would not have been charged. Remember the video. If you were a victim, you would likely have access to prove your case.
