Some good reasons are to save time and help put a government toll collector out of work before their cushy pension kicks in. If you carry a cell phone the government can already track your movements. If the license plate on your car is visible the government is already auto-reading it. Some police cruisers have auto-readers that alert when the cop drives by a stolen car or if a car is associated with someone they are looking for.
NJ recently raised all the tolls and there were few complaints. I think that's because the leftist news media didn't bring it up much. They like higher taxes. NJ does have lower gas taxes to compensate somewhat for the tolls. Tolls hurt the poor harder than the rich so it has the effect of keeping some of the welfare class off the turnpike.
Wow! I wonder if you set an FR record for the most delayed response in FR history (7+ years).
The call may be quick now, or not. It certainly wasn't then. Friends who did try to call back when I wrote what I wrote told me about 45 minute waits.

hope u get in this situation want to see how glad u will be to get false violation notices and pay for it. would u like to pay for my 9 violations which i paid.

Secondly, this original article was posted less than 100 days after 9/11. Three thousand of his fellow New York / Northern New Jersey area residents were dead, Americans were dying in Afghanistan, and this guy is complaining about problems driving his air conditioned gas guzzler on superhighways going to the race track and hates to pay for toll roads?
The guys in Afghanistan at the time, or the widows and widowers from the WTC, Pentagon and Shanksville would loved to have only such problems.
Time to suck it up.
how do you do that. do you file complaint in the court .how did you come up with this amount. how do i prove i paid toll. i sent notices back just to avoid hassel and sent check for 3 violation and wrote letter explaning myself. so both checks came back telling me account close reason to return payment back. once i was ez pass customer. its also matter of principle i really do not feel like sending them extra money not to mention $50 admin fee same time i am scared don’t know what action they can take against me. i have altogether 9 or ten who know more to come. i don’t have that kind of money to $50 per charge when i do pay my toll. i don’t know how to deal with all these charges. any suggestion appreciated.
1: pay the tolls. Some toll sensors do not work well through tinted windows
2: get a lawyer
3: learn to use capital letters.
