So this thread can actually make some sense, I've been driving on various toll roads around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area for months now and apparently their cameras can't catch the plate on my car. I've called them twice to ask them if I have any charges on my account and they've told me no both times.

For once the Corvette tax does not apply.

Nice pic, but is there something special about sitting still on a toll road?

We were talking about this last night. The only thing I can figure is that the white Texas license plate against the bright arctic white paint on my car "blinds" the camera so it can't get a clear picture. I'll be calling again today to make sure my account still has a zero balance and requesting they send me an e-mail to back it up as was suggested by one of the guys at the GTG last night. This way they can't come back to me in a couple of years and say I owe $25,000 or some other ridiculous amount.
