GS430 Brakes Saved Me by a Short Hair!
It was about 8:15 AM on Saturday and some idiot comes at me from a side street and barely misses me as I am coming to the Guard Gate Automatic Arm. I look through my rear view mirror at him for just a second. When I look forward I see the arm of the Guard Gate like 5 feet in front of me! Do an emergency stop and the arm of the Guard Gate gives me a glancing blow. It hit the windshield and part of the molding as it was going up. Was able to easily buff the white paint off my windshield and the molding. As I said it was by a short hair.

I think I would said something to that other driver . But at least you got the white stuff off.

That arm doesn't have some type of safety feature like a sensor to prevent it from going down when there is a car still in its path?Sometimes they have one and its embeded into the pavement to prevent that from happening.
