I rarely use toll roads and while heading to Tampa my GPS shot me onto a toll road to avoid an accident. (yea I forgot to remove tolls roads on the gps)

I was on this toll road for less than 2 miles and it was one of the "Toll by Plate" scams which has become popular in FL & Texas. Perhaps other places as well.

They no longer keep people in the toll booths as private companies now run many of FL's toll roads (same in Texas). I get an invoice in the mail with the toll charge being "$1.27" on top of that is an administration fee of "$2.50" (yea 2 times the amount of the toll in admin fees)

Meaning the toll actually cost $3.77. Now you go online to pay these tolls and to do so you have to set up an account and here is the kicker.. You can't pay the cost of the actual toll, you have to "load" money with the minimum being $10.
"
But wait there is more.. For the convenience of setting up my "automated" account and loading $10 they charge you yet another fee.. $1.33

Meaning my initial toll of $1.27 now cost me $5.10 with $3.83 in extra fees and also a "lost" $4.90 left in the account assuming I don't happen to drive down another "Toll by plate" road.

Fuck me, talk about a scam these cock suckers are getting away with and now just think of this shit happening thousands of times a day..
