Congestion tolling - Dumbest idea of the century.

The most fuel efficient car is the one that is moving. Coming to a stop for a toll booth line and then having to accelerate again to get back to highway speed is no way to save fuel and lower emissions. What idiots.

Don’t they toll while you are moving with a little sticker on your dashboard......taking from the account you’ve paid into?

Washington has perfected electronic tolling. You give the sheeple a transponder that automatically hooks directly into their checking account. They even give you a “deal” on the tolls by charging those who have to stop and pay cash even more...
