By "Drivers" I am sure they intend to say "illegals and niggers/tacos". Why do I say that? BECAUSE ITS ALWAYS NON-WHITES. That's why.

When you pull over a "Repeat offender" FUCKING ARREST THEM. I am so fucking tired of this stupid bullshit.

>Broomfield police said some drivers are going to great lengths to cheat the toll system.
Police posted a warning that more than 150 drivers have been cited for intentionally concealing their license plates to avoid paying toll fees. The crime is called toll evasion. Drivers who obey the law told FOX31 they find the practice to be deplorable. “It’s not fair because then the tolls are just going to increase for the rest of us that are following the rules,” said one resident. Examples of violations include covering letters and numbers with oil, grease and paint, using fake souvenir plates and tinted plate covers, as well as applying fake hand-written dealership tags to their vehicles.

When the Golden Gate Bridge was pitched to the people of kommiefornia, way back in the 1930s, it was floated with the idea of bonds which would expire in 60 years. The idea was that the revenue generated by the bonds would create a self-sustaining fund which would pay for everything the bridge needed and the bridge tolls would be removed. The bridge would be free.

Fast forward to 1996, the year the bridge toll should be removed. Of course the tolls continued. There was a full two page article in the San Francisco Chronicle all about it. The article explained that the bridge "district" (the do-nothing assholes who run the bridge) needed the tolls to continue funding the busses and ferries they run. Never mind the busses and ferries are stupid expensive and really should be funding themselves. At the time I lived in the city and didn't cross the bridge much so whatever.

In 1999, I bought a sailboat to live on and moored it in Sausalito (because of course that's where you want a boat). One of the best decisions of my life. Anyway, because I worked in the city, I needed to cross the bridge. I've ridden motorcycles for most of my life and since motorcycles were free during commute hours, it wasn't nay big deal for me. Free bridge.

One of my yearly traditions used to be an early Christmas morning ride. I'd just go ride in to the city, visit my parents, and ride around enjoying the empty city (except for all the Asian tourists which were always oddly up and out early on Christmas). One year, I go to drive through the toll booth, and I'm stopped by a toll taker. I ask what's up and the filthy she-nog tells me I need to pay toll. What? It's commute hours. It should be free for me. Nope, no more free tolls for motorcycles during commute hours. What? It's Christmas! Nope, no free tolls. Fuck. Whatever. So I pay the toll, and I tell the she-nog I will never pay toll on a motorcycle again. She-nog mumbles something in nog. I take off and have a day.

The next day I go to a hardware store and buy some bolts and wingnuts. I remove the license plate from my bike, and put it back with reversed bolts such that I can undo the wingnuts easily and take off my license plate revealing a "dealer blank" complete with a dealer frame. It looked like I'd just purchased the bike (back when you didn't get a plate right away on purchase). And every single time I crossed that bridge, I'd go across with my dealer blank, and then re-attach my plate when I got to work.

Seems silly, right? At the time, the bridge toll was $6. A sales-VP heard me talking to a friend at work about it, and he laughed, asking if I was really doing all that for $6 a day. No Chris, I was doing it for about $1400 a year. That stopped his laughter pretty quick. Then he asked about what happens if I get caught. I told him the ticket you get for it is about $200. I'd been doing it for a year already at that time, so I told him I didn't really care. He saw the math.

Fast forward about fourteen years. The tolls had risen to $8.40. Covid hits and I start working at home full time. Over those years I saved over $21,000 from going to a corrupt system. And it is corrupt. The Golden Gate Bridge is kind of a special case. Lots of really corrupt history there.

So fuck them. I don't ride the bridge anymore. The very very very few times I do, I just pay the toll. But it's like twice a year, if that.

Watch these toll schemes. With all the money we dump in to the government, there should be no tolls.
