Right hand steering wheel and gates
 

My son just brought his 1989 Land Rover to his house in The Villages. He forgot he can't use most of the gates since the steering wheel is on the right side of the car. Community Watch suggested he get a long pole so he can hit the red button. Without power windows that is not going to work. Anyone have a suggestion. The car sits up high so will those gadgets you put on the side view mirror work?

get behind someone else and follow them closely.

Only go to manned gates

Could he use a chip in the window to open gates

Sell

Yes, if he's got a mirror on that side or somewhere else to attach it.

Years ago I had a right hand drive Bentley. I had to be extra careful such as when passing a vehicle on a two lane highway I could not edge over to look for oncoming traffic. Left turns were a bit touchy, too. Not fun. So, I can understand the hassle he is experiencing.

Get a ride along friend? I’m not sure what the advantage of a right hand drive would be maybe get a left hand drive same model?

Perhaps he can back up thru every gate area so his right window aligns with the red button. Of course this may be a problem for him before and after the gate. Having to U turn thru each area. I’m certain that all the other cars in TV will be very patient for him during these maneuvers…. sure.

Perhaps it's time for the entry gates to open automatically, just like the exit gate function.
Eliminate all the cards and costs associated with their distribution and system maintenance.

💯 this. In case you didn’t know, any RFID transmitter will open the gate - you don’t need to push the red button.

Don’t believe me? Try going through the visitors side and swiping a totally random RFID keycard on the pad. It will beep and the gate will open right up. I discovered this when visiting and using my key fob for my garage door up north. I had my keys in my hand as I went to push the button, and the sensor beeped and opened. Great security. If you think about, there’s really no need for the gates at all then: just have cameras everywhere.

You have the function of the gates wrong they are not for security but to give golf carts a safer way to cross the street. When the gate is down safe for the carts to cross.

"cameras everywhere"

Not sure what good taking a picture of a bogus license plate will do.
I notice lots of outa date, outa state plates; and using the old front plate (no date sticker) on the rear.
Also seen on lots of "contractor" vehicles.

I thought we had security here when I bought. What a joke.

Hate passes
