ISTR that turnpike highways in the eastern U.S. simply record when cars reach each tollbooth. If a car arrives too soon at a booth, the driver is automatically fined for driving too fast. Can anybody confirm this?
- lsllc 2y agoAt least in MA, NH and FL, no not at all. I always slow to the limit for the toll booths (even the high speed tolling ones), but then I'm back to 10 over until the next one. Never had a ticket, I believe a cop has to see you speed and ticket you (you have a right to face your accuser or something like that, possibly urban legend). NH has a lot of troopers on their highways, you really can't drive far without seeing several. In MA, I rarely see MSP troopers on the highways (aside from the one taking a nap in the middle of the cloverleaf on a big interchanges during the early evening commute when the traffic is crawling). Driving through the NYC/NJ/Baltimore/DC I95 corridor, there's a lot of tolling going on, express lanes etc but I've never had a ticket despite averaging 10 over driving through at night. FL has lots of tolling going on, but I can't say I've ever seen a FL trooper on patrol, usually only at the scene of an accident/breakdown.
