Default mass sux

so i was comming home from ct the other day and i was on the pike.

well i was so hungry,so i turned off to a local b.k and when i got off the x- way there was the toll to get off.

Now there were three booths two for money and one for fast lane,and in front of the two money ones there was cones and the only one open was the fast lane one,and noone in sight,so i figgured that hey there having problems so i go through the only one open.

and i just get a $50 fine in the mail for going through a fast lane toll, wtf,

ok rant is done

sux you have to waste your time to fight the stupid ticket .. I bet they did that on purpose to deliberately cause fines on everyone knowing that most people will not fight the ticket... deliberate... planned entrapment

I remember why I never take my car thru mass... because when in my truck... cones are a non-problem.

OH, and get a plate cover too, and wax the crap out of it so it reflect light real well... the camera's won't be able to get your plate as easy that way. I also heard that shrink wrap, like the kind you use on electrical stuff that you can get in clear... over a plate will not photo too well either. Just a thought.

Squirrel: Just appeal it. If you haven't been caught going thru a "fast lane" booth before, they will just change it to a warning....The appeal process is easy and all can be done by mail and filling out a simple form stating reason you used the fast lane w/out having the proper credentials.... WJ

So instead of paying the money in the open one, which max would be a few dollars, you go through the FastLane one with no transponder and get a ticket and you blame MA.


You wern't in class when they passed out the Logic Lesson were ya?
