RHD Cars - How do you pay tolls?

Share this page

I drive my RHD MK2 through the drive-up teller lane weekly.
The looks on the teller's faces is priceless.

I had to drive down to the Taco-mama convention center last summer.
In and out (take your ticket, pay your fee) was automated, I backed through both times, much to the merriment of the construction workers nearby.

You'll get good enough at about 35MPH approaching a toll booth, to yank the e-brake, jerk the wheel, and spin 180, back into the booth, do the same thing on the way out.

Whatreya, new?

Are you the guy who came up with the Fastpass only system?

For the rest of you, the GGB is getting rid of the toll takers and going to only Fastpass (electronic box) or take a photo of your license plate and send you a bill.
 
Fast Track Pass is the way to go in CA. That or a stick with a cloths pin if you can reach the window winder.

That's what they're supposedly going to do in Orlando too. My only complaint is that out-of-towners are going to be pretty confused by the whole thing. As it is I've been behind some that almost completely stop at the high-speed scanners where you're supposed to be doing 70mph.
 
I know one toll taker in particular I'll miss. When I used to travel with my old dog Rollo, He would bark like mad at any thing unusual and was embarrassing me at the GGB toll. The toll taker gave me a dog biscuit with my receipt.
