We have I-Pass on our two vehicles. While we don’t travel the tollways a lot, it saves us paying double the fee, so over time it’ll be something of a savings. Especially after the fees doubled a year or so ago.
Several years ago, the IL Tollway Authority sent me a nasty letter about unpaid tolls on I-294 around Chicago. After digging into this, I found that the license plate was on a Jeep Wrangler registered in one of the Chicago suburbs (I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee). The license was close, but not mine (nor had I been anywhere near Chicago on the dates they cited).
I wrote these idiots a nastygram that would curl your hair. I laid out the facts, gave them the phone number of the DMV person that helped me research the offender's plate, and told them that any further action by them would be run through my attorney for legal recourse. I never heard another word from the IL Tollway Authority.
Shortly after this incident, it came to light the IL Tollway Authority was running a scam to see how many gullible people they could collect money from for things they had not done.
I hate the political scum that run this state. If I could sink both Cook and Sangamon Counties into a black hole in space, the other 100 counties in IL would cure 99 percent of their problems.
