sgornyJust got a call from the SO - wondering why I had blown the Narrows Toll bridge 6 times.
For a split second, I was all "WTF?!?" Then I realized...
I had a rental car from December 8th to the 17th, a total of 9 days. Of course, 2 were weekend days. So I crossed 7 times (12/8-12/11, 12/14-16), flying through in the "Good To Go" lanes, like always... without a "Good to Go" transponder.
How much does it cost to cross with a transponder? $2.75
How much does it cost if you blow the toll booths? $52
How much does Enterprise charge you for blowing the toll booth in their car? $10
So instead of $2.75 a shot, it was $62.
They only got me for 6 days - I wonder if one more is coming in the mail, or if they missed it.
I called GtG, but it was after hours. Looking at their webpage, it's a Washington State Patrol issue, and I'll probably have to go to court to try to get the fine reduced - if the judge will take stupidity as an excuse. But for $372-434? I'm at least going to try to go to court on it.
Maybe everything will work out... but I have a bad feeling about it.
