Ok I had to take a second look at this after hearing about this on the radio this morning on the way in... According to KTVU "Toll booth cameras record about 300,000 driver violations every month,
with some 3,000 chronic cheaters. One driver was shown to have cheated
tolls a total of 637 times" WTF??!! No way!! I cannot believe this! According to the Bridge Authority a large amount of these drivers are drivers that are going thru the FasTrak lanes with dealer tags on their cars... in response to that the proposed crackdown would require new legislation to track down toll
cheaters who don't pay and impound their vehicles or revoke driver's
licenses.
I couldnt believe and I am still baffled about the amount of violators out there. 637 times?? If the the Bay Area Toll Authority knows about these drivers obviously they have the time that the drivers come thru the toll gates because of the automatic violation and picture being taken... place a CHP car there and BUST THEM! Sheeesh... It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
I could maybe see the toll authority not doing its all if they were actually getting violators to PAY for their tickets and fines... but people with the dealer tags (the majority) are getting off scott free!
Go get em CHP...!!
