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.
There is so much more for you to learn.

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 a long collapsible pole.

(845) 542-7365 Can install a transponder in the side mirror. It works well in a suv…

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.
Welcome to TOTV. The gates may not be needed far south, but on the main MMP’s along Morse and BV they’re the only way to cross the street.

Long pole, affix a transponder to the mirror, "live with it", switch cars.....I mean, why would anybody have a right hand drive car in the US anyway?? As noted above, left hand turns and passing much be "dodgy" at best (use british accent here). Are they even legal?

I have my gate card attached with double sided tape to the inside of the little triangular window that my front window has. I just drive up close to the gate sensor and the gate opens.

He can attach his card to the passenger side window.

The good bit is that he probably won't curb rash his front left wheel because it's a truck-y type thing with big sidewalls.

The US Post Office operates zillion of right-hand drive vehicles.

If Postal Employees can handle it, it's not a challenging task.

Wonder why they buy their trucks this way?

Because Mailboxes are on the right side of the road.

Duh!

There was someon that was selling adhesive gate passes and that was attached to the driver side mirror. For him it would the passenger side view mirror. one caveat it didn't work on every gate.

Have someone put a chip in his side view mirror. They work great.
