I like it when people are so beaten down and brainwashed that they will defend a system that is clearly there only to make money off of them - Pathetic!

Clear examples of Stockholm syndrome

You do not have to drive on the toll road do you?

Yes, I live in Clearwater. (Still. Yeah, I know.) The part that gets me is how our governor continues to sell the photo tag piracy set-up as "in the best interests of the people." And he says this with his unblinking, Voldemort smile on his face. He disgusts me.

Veterans Expressway went from two toll booths to just one. The "Hidden Toll" is the stretch of highway you are on before/after the toll booth stop that is now Sun Pass only. So tourists and those that don't regularly use the road stop, pay, and think they have paid the toll but in fact have only paid half the total fee.

When they get the violation in the mail all they can think of is WTF? I stopped and paid a toll.

I get it. I guess having the transponder and regularly driving it makes me more astute to the system. It still does inform you though that you are coming up on a toll as far as I know, whether they mare manned or not. I know a lot of these toll plazas are not just drive straight through with no physical employees.

I always whip around the toll plazas to the right seeing as i have the transponder.

Part of Veteran's Expressway is a cash-less toll section. You can't pay cash if you wanted to there is no tool booth. You have Sun Pass or you get fined by mail.

In a state so heavily dependent on out of town drivers and people in rental cars all toll roads should have a toll booth for cash or be free. Why would someone from out of state even know what a Sun Pass was?

I realize this is confusing for you, but did you not comprehend the term "no toll plazas" and"toll by tag"? All they have is little signs that say "toll route" and cameras to take pictures of your tag. They don't have big flashy lights or toll plazas, they look like any "normal" road and you would never know it was a toll road if you missed the sign while getting on.. Also when you are dealing with 6 lanes of traffic once you are committed to a lane you aren't getting off once you do see the toll sign.

Meanwhile, you fail at reading and comprehension but that's nothing new.

I'm in Tampa, Bradenton area every year but I avoid that toll mainly cause on vacation and in no hurry to get anywhere as it's usually just a beach, restaurant, strip club tour. Do have the Illinois one which works fine and never encountered hidden ones.

See those two cars paying cash? What do they do 4 miles down the same road when suddenly there is a toll but no booth?

My reading and comprehension are just fine but you on the other hand can't read road signs apparently.
