I always pay my bills - but I gotta get a bill first. END QUOTE
That attitude works on your power bill or phone bill, but not on something that could have legal implications. These aren't bills...its just like you got a speeding ticket. If you suspect you might have skipped a toll, its your responsibility to verify. Its not worth taking a chance.

Right: It's not my responsibility to KNOW if they take my plate (I must assume it works, rather than assume it doesn't work) and send me a bill. What do I do, keep a record of every toll booth passing so I can verify whether I get a bill - Fat Chance - got better things to do, like keep my eyes on the road.
Course, I can always drive down the road past the tool booths and text myself each time, so I don't miss one that misses me. OH, right, texting - can't do that driving!
You gotta be kidding. If it sends me a bill (which is ITS responsibility, not mine) then I pay it - otherwise, my advice is get a system that works - it certainly has a budget and is wasting that budget if the system don't work properly.
