Yep. I think the ez pass and the like will eventually phase out with automated plate reading. |

| IIRC the toll agency for the North Texas/DFW area used to send all such duns for tolls to a collection agency, even the first time/inadvertent ones. the result is that the first timers got a $25 charge in addition to the initial toll charge, just like a serial or prolific scofflaw would. That changed after the appropriate hue and cry after this fact was published in the Dallas Morning News. To my knowledge no other toll agencies in the state did that, but just mail you a charge for the toll only.

| I've told this story on here previously. Exgirlfrend was extremely bad with money. Had an EZPass but never money in her account. She just figured they'd time their autodebit at the time she had money or they'd just do it later if she didn't have money. After a while they just stopped trying or she switched banks, can't remember which. She kept on going through the tolls. She ended up owing $12,000 in tolls and penalties, which was negotiated down from $24,000. They garnished her paycheck after court. This was for the Dulles Greenway, a private toll road. This was all civil, no tickets issued.
