Everybody knows about the Red button, so if you drive a passenger vehicle you don't need a pass, so having duplicates isn't really an issue. These are also public roads, so they can't keep the public from using them, pass or no pass.

Isn't the whole idea kinda like Sams Club? Where you have to get your cart checked when you leave? It's supposed to make you feel special having to roll down your window and scan your card.

Oh and let a golf car or two get thru too.

Now eight pages of comments about one person’s side hustle being threatened. He isn’t “giving out” mirror-activated devices. He’s selling them.


I heard a rumor from Bruce that the gate card system in the Villages is going to change. Be forewarned that I have been giving out and using the devices that are placed in car mirrors to activate the gates for over a year.

I do hope you realize that you just committed libel against the OP. And since he is a public figure of sorts involved in government here in the Villages, he might have a decent case.

Here's the quote:

"one person’s side hustle being threatened. He isn’t “giving out” mirror-activated devices. He’s selling them."

So to meet the definition of libel it must:

Be untrue----------------------------------------------------------check
Be public-----------------------------------------------------------check
Be intentional-----------------------------------------------------check
Cause damages-------------------------------------------------????????always the big question.

Does being accused of being a liar and having a "side hustle" result in "damages"?
Better left to the legal experts

I guess, just for clarity, what's the untrue part?

I understand the reason for the gates is traffic control. I think it’s mostly to give golf carts an opportunity to cross in some areas. I’m sure there are many other reasons for traffic control. So if that is the MAIN reason, why the cards, why not just have an automobile pull up and after a few seconds, the gate opens. It accomplishes the same thing without all the gate card trouble and expense.

Not a gated community but rather a community with gates.

It's guess, it's opinion. A waiter that hustles and is on top of his game gets a bigger tip.
