I’m seventeen years old, and today I traveled about an hour away to go to a very nice mall. I was driving along with a friend. On the way back from the mall, we ran into road construction, so I punched into my GPS to find me a detour. All I had to do was take the next exit. Which I did.
Anyhow right at the end of the exit was the turn pike, but for where I was going, the turnpike toll booth was like right at the very end of the exit. I thought it was going to be a tool booth where you’d grab a ticket and go….but it wasn’t. There was only one toll booth, (For Ez-pass, and cash) and i pulled up to it and instead of having some lady ask for money it was a coin slot… The screen said I owed 75 cents. I dug through my purse as fast as I could, I wasn’t expecting to get right off the exit and find the booth! But I could only find 2 quarters, and a whole line of traffic was blowing their horns behind me.
I panicked, and just drove off…without paying. It was my parent’s car, and I know they take pictures of your license plate so they can bill you…But I never even picked up a ticket…and the tool booth was right at the end of the exit!
I don’t want my parents to think I’m irresponsible… So I’d like to know if I will be billed at all, and how they bill you…and how much I should expect. Please remember that all I did was take an exit and I didn’t even travel down a highway…there was just this toll both at the end of the exit, and I hadn’t picked up a ticket before hand….Please tell me what’s going to happen, and am I going to have to tell my parents?
