Default Ok, WTF?

Apparently there are tollways that are video only with no booth in north Texas....Just got a $19.20 bill in the mail for something from 3 months ago. It is total bullshit. Just venting, but ****...why the hell would they do that? Don't remember a sign or anything. I ******* hate trans authority.


Anyone else get this queer *** letter? I called them to dispute it because I couldn't remember and they slam me with a picture of the event. I was ready to explode on the phone. But I got the final word in I feel. They can **** off......

Yep, Dallas North Tollway at Wycliff Avenue is a camera only, no booth. They send you a bill, based on your license plate.

Time for you guys to get paper tags and go around that thing in numerous successions. Bill that! Hate your Home Owner Association committee? (Tying a thread together aint I?). Get one of your friends to put their license plate on their (one of your friends) car (after you get the HOA ****'s off) and do the mean deed. (Jokingly, dont do it, just a thought, I wouldnt condone that).

Ok... .90 , .50, .75 cents, how did this poor soul get stuck with a $19.20 bill after a couple of months? Did you circle around about 20 x's to make sure there was nobody in the booth?
