Tolls on toll roads
First, my rant: Came into Orange County California yesterday and used the toll road to bypass traffic. (for those not familiar, traffic is horrendous 24/7) Anyway, we pull up to the toll booth ...

Anyway, we pull up to the toll booth since it's "cash only" unless you have FasTrak and it's $14.00 for the first leg. $14.00 because I'm towing a car, so I'm considered a 5 axle vehicle. Now, if I stop just BEFORE the toll plaza and UNHOOK the car, it's only $9.00 for BOTH. Drive past the toll plaza and hook up again and I'm good to go, saving 36% !!! How does that make sense..:h
Prolly makes sense from the rate-setters' point of view.
Fact is, most folks with a towed car wouldn't regard five bucks as enough return to go to all the trouble of unhitching/rehitching etc.
But for those on a limited budget, that could be an important money-saving device!
