Most times, I'm not in a hurry. Sometimes am running late to what ever. I'm from NY. Maybe that will explain it. I see no reason for holding up a line of cars sitting at the gate waiting for it to close. The "eye" keeps the gate open if there is constant traffic going through it. So.......why not?

Folks don't know how to time the gate. That's why you will see the Mallory gate broken many times. It's not really that difficult to stay close to the car in front of you, yet not have to "tailgate". Every time I go through those exit gates, the gate never comes down all the way as long as a car is approaching. I have absolutely no idea the stupidity it takes to actually break that gate. I've never been a witness to it happening.

It is the Mallory exit gate that is slow as molasses in January (a northern expression). That's why nearly everyone caravans through the exit gate.

If you stop in the street or at an intersection to let a golf car or car go, you, under Florida law, may have assumed liability for anything that happens at that intersection while you are controlling traffic. This happened to my daughter. A driver stoped to let her turn left into a shopping center. A car passed him on the grass to his right. The car on the grass hit my daughter in the passenger side. In court, the driver of the car that stop and let my daughter go was given i ticket and he was held liable for the damages to both cars. Unless something has changed, it's not a good idea to stop and let people go. So under the conditions here if you let the cart pass in front of you and it gets hit by a car coming IN the gate, you have have assumed liability for the accident. Check this for yourself. The law changes and things might not be the same. Or, they just might be the same.

The gates are intended to be opened for 1 vehicle at a time. They are not opened for 3 cars at a time. The cars AND carts trying to "caravan" through the open gates are the reason the gates are being damaged all the time. As to the "who should go"...
