I wish I was exaggerating. While I only counted miles for the year because that's all that can be written off for taxes, my physical therapist was still attending school and said that it cost him about $1500 in tolls for the year to go between work, home, and school.
Edited to add: Remember that he spent more than $1500 in tolls because he didn't add up the tolls he spent to visit friends and family, and traveling to do fun things.
growing up in a small beach town the thing that killed me was the drawbridges on the intercoastal waterway. Everytime you had to be somewhere an asshole playing in his sailboat would hold up 200 cars.
I feel your frustration. One time I had to travel just four miles on I-4. Well, as soon as I got onto I-4, an accident happened. A trip that should've taken 7 minutes to reach my exit ended up taking about 2 hours. Never travel in Florida without a couple of bottles of water in your car, and carrying snacks isn't a bad idea either, but make sure it's something that can stay in your car without melting.
The I-4 interchange in Tampa is notorious.
