The Dulles "Toll" Road

The Washington Post has funny little article up about the Dulles "Toll" road. The "toll" is emphasized because, apparently, it's optional.

According to the article, collection boothes aren't actually equipped with any means to catch or track toll evaders. Yes, a siren wales and a light flashes, but that's it. Your liscense won't be suspended and you'll never even so much as get a ticket in the mail.

"How's that," you ask? Well, because the camera boxes are, and have always been, EMPTY. It's all for show.

If you're thinking to yourself that that's the dumbest thing you've ever heard, you're not alone. Cause really, an optional toll is not a toll at all; it's an Idiot Tax.
