Default Just wrote a check to Texas Tollways...

Wonder if it will "get lost in the system"?

Ha ha, be carefull with your bull ****. Some dude was on the news a few month ago because he thought he got caught in a speed trap. So when he paid the court he wrote "Bull **** Money Grab" in the memo. Next thing you know the constables show up and arrest him because the judge has declared he's in contempt of court. He spent a few days in jail over it. Funny as hell though.

I ran through one by accident about 2 weeks ago. A few minutes later, I see the big sign "Failure to pay toll $250 fine". My expression

So, at the toll booth where I pay to exit, I chat with the toll booth attendant and tell him what I did. He said "Don't worry, they'll send you a bill for the toll plus a $1.20 processing fee". Coolness.
