Haven't you paid enough for those lies, America?
"Police say driver hid plate to avoid toll" October 14, 2011|Associated Press
NEW YORK - A Virginia truck driver used a low-tech device to try to get out of paying the $65 toll to cross the George Washington Bridge into New York City, police say.
Nelson Vaquiz of Beaverdam was arrested on charges of using a cable in his truck cab to flip up his front license plate while going through a gateless toll lane on Interstate 95 without a toll transponder, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said yesterday.
His rear plate was bent up so it could not be read by cameras, police said.
Truck drivers have complained about steep toll increases that the Port Authority says it needs to finish building the new World Trade Center....
I thought Lucky Larry Silverstein was awarded billions in insurance payouts for that purpose.
Some drivers zip through the gateless express lanes while obscuring their license plates so the Port Authority cannot track them down and bill them. Because of such evasion, the Port Authority missed out on collecting $14 million in 2009 and 2010....
Yeah, the poor Port Authority.
--more--"
My advice? Stay out of New York.
