unattended toll booths
 

When you don't have change and you don't feed the beast, does it ever come back to haunt you?

Chicago has a lot, boy, I hate them.

I have been short twice in Chi town and tossed in what I had and never had it come back and bite me in the butt, but I do know people who have gotten bills and tickets in the mail for running those change demons.

If you run Chicago a lot it wouldn't hurt for you to get yourself an I-Pass or EZ pass. That way you don't have to worry about having change.

Last year when going from 294 to I55 i had no change..i tossed in what i had and went on my way...i went online to pay it(illinoistollway.com) and said i couldnt pay it if it had been more than 7days since the violation......nothing ever happenend

Yes you will get a notice in the mail for the toll plus a $20 fee for missing it. I got 2 when my ezpass wasn't reading properly. A friend of mine got one for $1,300.

matter of fact it happened summer of 07..not last year......

When I was brand new to OTR, I found one of these in West Chicago somewhere. One of the many things no one bothered to mention to me. I scrounged the laundry fund and tossed it in there, mad as hell.

Mike! C'mon brother, give us the rest of the story. Ok $20, busted, oh well. But, $1300!?!? What happened!?

when you run around Chicago as much as we do it doesn't take long to rack up that much. Some days you could do 10 or more missed tolls at $20 a pop plus the toll fee, some of which are $8.

Whew!!! I hate that about Chicago. Oftentimes I don't have the change, and I'm not lying, sometimes I'll put in the 30 cents car fare instead of the five axle. Probably not the only one.
