My daughter lent a car I own to a foreign national, here on a work visa, from Muldova. He drove to Chicago to conduct some business in his embassy and along the way, went through 4 toll booths without paying a total of $2.60 in tolls. He is unfamiliar with toll systems and just followed other cars through the gates.
I received a notice two months later that I owed the State of Illinois $82.60. I called and was told there was no way to avoid paying the entire amount even after explaining the circumstance.
This is simply an outrageous abuse of power on behalf of the state of Illinois. I can assure you it will cost the state more than $82.60 in business that I will not, in the future, do in Illinois.
