hayward Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) I knew when they came out with this system this was going to be a problem. Free tolls! No wonder they have to keep upping the costs to people that actually pay to use the roads. http://wnep.com/2017/07/05/pa-turnpike-commission-offers-amnesty-for-habitual-toll-shirkers/ Edited August 3, 2017 by hayward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rw06GT Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 They've been playing those ads non stop on the Pa radio stations I listen to. I wonder if they will bring in enough to cover the costs of the ads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoslinger Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) free tolls? did you read/comprehend the story? "The law — which goes into effect August 1st — gives the state the authority to suspend the registration of state drivers who consistently blow through the EZ Pass lanes and never pay their tolls. The Turnpike says if toll evaders pay up now, they can have all additional fees waived." Edited August 3, 2017 by Snoslinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayward Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 I meant the people thought they were going to get away without paying their tolls and suffering consequences. And many probably will. Over 10,000 drivers owe $500 or more. Just how is law enforcement gonna revoke that many registrations? Are other states having this same problem or do they have a different system? Your daughter all paid up Slinger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I was just checking cause I remember you telling me she moved down this way somewhere's again. What's the story? I refuse to get an EZ pass. I have so damn much trouble just remembering all the licenses, registrations, inspections on our stuff the last thing I need is to become delinquint on paying tolls. But, for what little I use the turnpike, I wouldn't save a whole lot having the pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i'm not on top of that kind of stuff either. Don't feel alone, there's only 10,000+ more that are right there with you . Hey wait a second, because of your wife and daughter, everytime I run to Allentown for parts, it's costing ME more money.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Maybe NYS can toss a few more cops on I-90 to make up for their missing part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
