A DRIVER was furious over a $600 toll bill that was sent to him despite him not even owning the car.
He shared his frustration when other drivers shared that they too were charged toll fees that they did not drive themselves.

“I traded in a car and we forgot to remove it from our EZ Pass account,” explained one driver.
“They racked up $600 in tolls and didn’t give it up. They tracked it by the license plate.”
The driver learned the hard way that it is important to take certain measures when selling or trading a car.
In his case, he should have removed the license plate from the car he traded in or deleted the vehicle from his EZ Pass account.
Others shared their stories about toll fees in a Reddit post that started when someone shared a photo of a bill.
O wire showed a ticket with a photo of the user’s car connected to a table.
“I received a toll fee for my car that was being transported on a flatbed truck,” the post says.
“The truck passed through the toll quickly with an easy pass, but marked my car.”
He said that after calling the company, sharing the photo and having a few laughs together, the company dismissed the fine.
This generated a hilarious number of responses sharing similar experiences.
“My father-in-law’s EZ pass was not sent in a protective envelope and he charged every toll the vehicle UPS system went through to send it to him,” one comment read.
“The opposite happened to me,” wrote another.
“A car being towed by a truck in front of me at the toll booth stole my ez pass scan, and I had to pay the full amount when I left later.”
Another person said that when he was shipping a car to his home address, he received several EZ-Pass violations in the mail with photos of his car in the back.
“It took me 2 months to fight, even though they literally had a picture of the empty car in the back of a truck,” he said.
“My grandmother got a fine for a toll that didn’t even exist,” wrote another without further explanation.
These comical mistakes have made some think that the world is on a doomed path due to our dependence on technology and the rapid rise of AI.
“This is why we still can’t trust robots,” wrote one user.
Someone who claimed to work as an operator said these errors are more common than some realize, and are not just faults with the robots and cameras.
“This kind of thing happens a lot because the operator processing photo violations is on autopilot taking so many and doesn’t see the clear reason for rejecting this one,” they said.
He says he also saw several other errors, one of which he himself was responsible for.
He detailed how he saw “an entire funeral procession suffering red light violations.”
He also saw tickets for ambulances with clearly flashing lights.
And he says he even accidentally zoomed in on the license plate of the car coming in the other direction and issued an incorrect ticket himself.
