Overdue toll charge scam

[Decoligny]

I never said anything about other state taxes. I-40 and I-35 carry a LOT of cars that may or may not stop for fuel, thus paying a state and federal tax per gallon. They use the turnpike though and they will get a bill at their residence in Chicago.
Its a fair tax and needed to fund highway maintenance and new construction.
Nothing is free.

Nothing is free, but the tolls were enacted to pay the cost of BUILDING THE ROAD. Once paid for, it was supposed to become just another road. It was then supposed to be maintained through taxes like every other road. It wasn’t supposed to be an eternal revenue source for the State.

The lottery was for SCHOOLS
The casinos were for TEACHERS

Goobermint steals, takes, lies. It is just what they do.

You sure on this? Seems they ARE sending out bills.

PlatePay is the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority's Cashless Tolling System.

Cashless tolling technology allows motorists to continue through toll plazas without stopping to pay a toll and instead customers may pay tolls online at their convenience.

Cameras at these toll plazas take a photo of the vehicle’s license plate as the vehicle passes through and then:

• If the driver has a PIKEPASS, the account is charged as usual.

• If the driver does not have a PIKEPASS, OTA will mail an invoice to the registered owner of the vehicle. The PlatePay rate is higher than the PIKEPASS rate. To avoid the higher rate, we encourage customers to open a PIKEPASS account.

Except when they misread the tag. Then they may send you a bill for a vehicle you've never owned.

How long before some smarty pants starts taking tape and changing people’s tag number?

Still pretty easy to swap plates in a parking lot.

Really not digging the plate pay. Used to wait around until balance hit $0 then pay. Then I found out they revert to standard rates and separate billing at a much higher rate. They want you to have a tag on your car, tracking sticker on a windshield and a balance with them. Also the new system is low hanging fruit for phone scammers.

Recently bought a new vehicle and had them mail a sticker. When I sold the old vehicle the sticker came off pretty easily with pealing from the corner. A little Windex and no residue.

On the new vehicle I placed the sticker on the inside of the windshield In the first part of May, then discovered it was in the way of a dash cam I bought so needed to relocate it (This was last Thursday.) It did not peal off cleanly at all, and left a sticky millimeter or two thick layer of very sticky residue that took me 20 minutes to remove with 100% Isopropyl Alcohol (should have used Everclear, at least that's potable.)

I got the Dash Cam installed, then drove up to the PikePass office at Memorial and Meridian for a new toll sticker. Guess what, still is open on their web site, closed at the Physical location. Had to drive the long way to avoid tolls on the Kilpatrick to go to their much smaller office at 122nd and the I-35 service drive. There are many fewer employees there.

Point is, PikePass thinks they own you. They have less employees reducing their costs, and their business model is very inconvenient. Even the phone service helpline has Doctor's office hours. No Toll stations anymore, just snap a digital picture of your tag and sent you a ticket. I bet they are selling all the data on our travels to.

Big brother is watching you and recording your movements. Developing a history of your behavior to manipulate when necessary. But don’t worry the media will come to your rescue.

Too deep?

How long will it be before they take and calculate your TIME between tolls and issue a ticket for EXCESSIVE SPEED?
