NEW JERSEY TPK TOLL SCAM

For all New Yorkers who are thinking about driving to New Jersey to shop.......beware. The toll lanes on the New Jersey turnpike are difficult to navigate. One has to wonder if the "set up" is not deliberate. There are too many complaints to list on YFP. Here is one that speaks for many.

Apparently, one of the tolls didn't register my change and now I have this ticket to deal with for $25.70. I am sure this is not an isolated incident I think they are running this scam on a lot of people, especially with out of state plates. You pay the toll AND get a ticket for toll + fine! I wonder how their judges handle these cases, they are probably in on it too "lets raise money for the State by scamming the people." I hope they get exposed to the public for what they are doing, people get reimbursed, and whoever is responsible is brought to justice!I was the one who started this thread, and if you look back, you see I not only had the $25 fee from the state of New Jersey, but ANOTHER $25 fee from Dollar Rental Cars! What's more, when New Jersey combined charges on one statement, Dollar copied them and sent me multiple statements with a separate $25 charge for each "violation"! After writing to their CEO, I managed to negotiate a half price charge of only $12.50 per "violation"! I've ridden on the Parkway since it was built in 1954. My grandfather used to let me and my brothers throw the quarters in the toll basket when we were kids. If I find getting in the right lane confusing, what chance does a first-time visitor have?
