I pulled up to the toll booth and looked for the amount to pay. I did not see it at first. I tossed a dime into the hopper. $0.10 appeared on the screen. I then saw the sign above the screen that gave prices. The price for my little sports car is $3.00. I didnt see it at first because my car is way below the height of the sign.

I took three, one dollar bills out of my pocket but I could not reach the dollar bill feeder because my sports car is very low to the ground and the bill feeder is high. I had to wiggle the car back and forth to make room to open the door. I then got out of the car and put the three, one dollar bills into the machine. The screen showed $3.10.

The lights turned green. I checked your machine for change. I found two worthless Mexican coins.

You kept my extra $0.10. I got back into my car, put the seat belt on and drove away. The lights were still green when I drove away.

I can only guess that I took too long to get back into my car and drive away before your camera went off. Or, maybe when I had to move forward and backward to make room to open the door I crossed some invisible line that tripped the camera. Either way, I paid $3.10 and I do not owe any more. They should do a quicky investigation before they issue a citation. I guess when your a debtor in possion (in the process of bankrupty) you have to try to rip off as many people as you can to get more money in.
