try driving a triple axle motorhome, towing a triple axle trailer.
it’s close to $70. Truckers HATE the thruway.
I think you can take the 90 all the way to the west coast. That’d be sweet if it was just one toll. But it’s by state.
We already have those down here in VA. 267 is $7 to work each day roundtrip and lots of times I go through it more than once… (thankfully they pickup the tab).
They have certain areas that are full service, then EZPass only, and then credit card only.
In for going to the court to laugh at him.
The “90” goes to Seattle I think or a west coast city that is in the northern part I thought. Its a bunch of changes between tolls and stuff because each state is different but from what I remember, it goes from Boston to Seattle.
all he had to do was say he didn’t hqve the money. worst case they mail him the bill as well.
i’ve gone through and forgot i had no cash on me
People will just drive less and the numbers are already proving this. They can raise tolls if they people will either just not take the trip or avoid the 90 altogether.
Once when I was a poor college student, I was driving a borrowed Ford Escort from Fredonia to Lackawanna, and I realized I didn’t have a cent on me. I think I scrounged about $.44 from the car in small coins, tossed it in the toll taker’s hand, and burned rubber out of there before he could count it. Didn’t know what else to do. Nothing ever came of it.:mamoru:
if you don’t have the money they have to mail you a bill
Sounds like this guy was just mad at how much the toll was rather than not having the money. Even if you take the thruway from NYC to Buffalo its about $17. This person must have been towing something which made the toll higher than normal.
When are you going to stop visiting this site?
$35 > $27.35.
I think his point is that he wouldn’t have gotten arrested then.
so then … $250 > $35 > $27.35
I’m pretty sure it’s $35 plus the toll. So if you go from LA to Blasdell and accidentally go through the EZ pass, they send a bill for $35.15. For $35, it’s amazing how many people will back out of the EZ pass lane in heavy traffic. If it was $1 or something it would probably reduce accidents. I once watched a Canadian back out, almost into the bumper of a state trooper. Cop backed up and let him switch lanes.
but had he gone the $35 route, he would have skipped the $250 and the $27.35, and the arrest.
I cant believe I’m defending karter.
^^ el oh fucking el
I remember driving through the illinois “skyway” IE; rape you, where there is a toll every coupe miles.
one toll was like ~$4 and I didn’t have the money and they don’t accept credit, so she made me get out of the car and write down my plate number, she took down my info, ect… took like 4 minutes and everyone behind me was so pissed.
I may or may not have mis wrote my plate number. and never mailed in the cash. I now don’t drive through chicago
HAHA I hate that fucking road.
I do like how they have the rolling tolls. They hit you for like $0.10 at a time but you can drive down the highway at 75 mph and dont even slow down which really helps traffic.
