On the left, go down to Golf Carts vs Gate Arms. Watch the videos.

Fascinating. Looks like mostly all of them are piggy backing to avoid stopping. A couple of them just drove off and I guess didn't know they were on camera.

Recognize a neighbor? :22yikes:

a perfect testimony to the fact that "seniors" have very poor "judgement".

Some have no sense of depth or speed or capability.

Too many just have no sense.

All the above requiring substantial effort to remain polite:a20:

If you are taking bets, Gocubsgo... I will put five dollars on the Golf carts.

The gate arms are losing right and left.

It's very amazing to me that so few people stop and take responsibility!

I'm guessing these are unmanned gates. Maybe the people go home and call the proper dept., although I doubt they are responsible kinds of folks or they wouldn't be running the gates in the first place.

Look like you might as well have someone design a flex gate that will reshape after a hit. Maybe Tupperware can make one.

In an earlier posting someone wondered how many residents here were Mensa's.
After watching the videos it's quite obvious; NOT MANY!!!
Are folks really that STUPID?
Guess I just answered my own question

Maybe a Super Glue Gate that sticks to the car/cart!

Easy solution - get rid of the gates. Obviously lots of people don't like them.

Maybe they could install those pop up tire spikes forward of the gates so if you break the arm, the spikes pop up and stop you. I'm sure that would put an end to the problem.

The gates are designed to control the flow of traffic, thus making it safer for golf carts to cross.

It was interesting to me that it was the Del Mar gate in all the videos. Some people did even stop as they saw the arm coming down?? That gate has an automatic sensor to open as your getting close, so these guys had to be speeding through. Remind me not to drive over that way any more...

Pardon me, but this was hysterical. I thought I was watching a segment of the Keystone Kops,,, lol :a20:

I use the Del Mar gate daily, and frankly I'm really aggravated by knuckleheads riding two inches from my rear bumper so they can avoid stopping at the gate. It's not as if going through the gate legally is difficult. You can use your card or push the button, but if that's too much work for you, all you have to do is drive up to within a few inches of the gate and it automatically opens! People never cease to amaze me . . . . . Just once I'd like to slam on my brakes on my way through the gate and "lower the boom" one of these people. But I'd probably damage my own vehicle.

just make sure you're clear of the gate and do it!
