Damned electronic gates!

TheInquisitor

Lads , leaving work every day its like a race. The gate starts opening , you tear in jump into your car, slowly reverse and navigate out of your spot ( very tight car parking) but now your arse nemisis the electronic gate is beginning to close.

Your only option is of course is to GUN it and try to get the tip of your car to break the beam, but at the last minute you realise you wont make it , but you still think if you jump out you might be able to break the beam with your leg. You pull the handbrake unfortunately not far enough as , you forget your still in 2nd gear, you jump out of the car, suddenly realise its still moving, only 5 feet from gate now.

The ultimate choice, break beam with your foot and hope to jump in to your car it successfully makes its way out or admit defeat and try to save your paintwork. I regretfully inform boards i chickened out dived across the front seat and almost tore the handbrake out of the car i pulled it up so hard. Car of course stalled and jumped and was the width of the smiley face from hitting the gate :eek:

I'll be back! You just wait Mr Electronic gate, vain of my existence :pac:

Why do you not have the code for your work car park? Could you not just ask someone what it is?
