I'm certainly not going to defend the toll road operators, but IMO, this was a self-inflicted wound. The "letter" that you receive once you have committed a violation states that, to avoid more penalties in the future, you must set up an
account prior to another use and if you have no transponder, log in to your account and pay the toll.
Rick's post is a bit misleading because he states that, "
you have to proactively log onto their site within a few days and pay" and his post seems to indicate that is what he did. Except, he didn't. You cannot "log onto their site"
until you have an account to log onto. Simply "going to the site" is not logging in.
Again, there are different circumstances. For
first time violators, you have 5 days to create an account and pay all tolls without penalty. If not done, you get "the letter" and are expected to "know better" the next time and create an account beforehand.
