I get on the highway the other day and go through the cash lane. There was no toll attendant so I said -blam!- it and went on my merry way. I get to the next toll and tell them what happened and they said to call this number. I call it and the toll company holds me to $1 dollar.
What the hell is this. If they wanted their dollar so bad they would've had an attendant at the toll. So they inconvenience me by having to call them and pay for their mistake.
If I didn't call they would have sent me a bill and if I refused to pay it I would get fined.
tl;dr: Tolls are highway robbery and make you pay for their mistakes

Edited by Recon Number 54: 5/6/2015 10:01:58 PMWhat pisses me off is when a Federal Interstate Highway has tolls. Something about that just seems incredibly wrong to me. Locally, there are a good number of tolled roads and the planned income from tolls are what got those roads built (and here in the Dallas area, not only do they build them well, they build them faster than anywhere else, ahead of schedule and under-budget). I don't have to take toll-roads, there are always alternatives that are free of fees, but if/when I want to get from A to B as quickly as possible, many times I will gladly take the toll-road.

Op is literally a fgt

the original reason was to keep the poor out of well to do areas lol

How would they know you didn't pay it if you didn't call?
-
Whats the point of toll roads? Isn't that what we pay taxes for?

Edited by Nihlus: 5/6/2015 6:45:11 PMThat's highway robbery? US tollways seem free compared to foreign tolls. Where they can easily charge $40 USD. As a driver of a sports car, I'm happy to pay toll for a smooth road.
