I had friends who lent their car when they were on vacation to a close family friend--only to come back to a bill of over $100 for toll charges. The "friend" saw the toll signs but since they never stopped at a booth (nor saw a booth), they had assumed it wasn't up and running yet. They had no idea they were incurring fees--nor how much. My friends are stuck paying, but unfortunately have already incurred late fees since they had no reason to think the first two bills were anything but an error.
So, guess what folks. Computer age very likely now allows this to occur on a national level. And if you don't pay, it may well prevent you from renewing your license or tags, in time, just as unpaid traffic tickets do now.
