first, I think, if it is as advanced as Oklahoma's system (sarcasm) they actually just take it out of your account if they can match the plate number to an account.

More importantly, police by those things always pissed me off bad.  Police on those roads piss me off in general though.

They just got around to installing cameras on our toll road after the Post revealed the the camera housings had been empty for about 15 years. Apparently they were just there to make you think you were being watched.

yeah, the intersection cameras in Virginia were all off for years. So far as I can tell, we are still kept in a state of confusion as to which are on.

Ash, just so i understand you clearly, Are you mad that the police are ostensibly trying to capture fines for jumping tolls, when in fact, the private road owners have already got that taken care of?

If the private company already has toll jumpers taken care of the police should be elsewhere, enforcing non-redundant violations.

I prefer the ones that are off to confuse me, to the ones that are on and actually give me tickets.

Yeah that seems dumb, especially if it's an entirely private road in which case I would think that how you mount your transponder is something to be handled between you and the company if it's a partly gubmint funded road I could see there being more leeway for government paid enforcement but it's still silly.
With those things around here if you drive through and it doesn't beep they have a sign right after the toll with a number you can call (as well as a camera to nap people who are trying to dodge the toll) as far as I'm aware if you just call and let them know it didn't go through they don't even charge you any extra.

I just realized a t-shirt I just bought and I'm wearing for the first time has a little hole in it. Like the kind you get from the dryer. Plus, since it's a brand new t-shirt it's like giant on me.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had published operas by the age of 14, and I'm sitting here in the prime of my life eating Hula Hoops wasting my time on the internet.

[CortJstr]

Dammit fucker, there's a turn lane for a reason. Don't turn right from the travel lane. Don't even kind of drift over into the turn lane so slowly that you're all the way to the intersection by the time you're out of my way.

Also, learn to merge. The zipper method was invented for a reason. The "stop in the middle of the merge lane with your turn signal on" method doesn't have a snappy name because it sucks so hard. Dipshits.

[pmcd9]

This country used to know how to merge.  We've lost that ability so completely that around here they've changed all of the freeway exits so that merging isn't necessary.  I wouldn't even be able to calculate how much money was spent to accommodate people that can't merge.

Stopping in the merge lane should be a revocable offense.  If you can't merge, you lose your license.

If it's any consolation, he didn't write his first great opera till he was 24.

[Drygioni]

Then there is hope for me yet, I've got 6 years to write a great opera. That can't be too hard, plenty of time. I will call it Awesome in D Major.

[pmcd9]

Your on the right track buddy.

[Doc]

Awesome in D Major.

Yes.

Today nothing in particular pissed me off, though it was a bit weird that a girl who worked a coffee stand with 'machiatto' on the price board did not in fact know how to make a machiatto. So I told her to give me a double shot of espresso with a tiny bit of milk.
