NJ Toll Booth Operators Give Change and Threats

Written by Pat's Papers | Wednesday, 24 February 2010 10:40 AM


I’ve always have my EZ Pass in place when driving on the New Jersey Turnpike so I’ve missed the choice encounters detailed in today’s Newark Star Ledger. The state just released two years of complaints about the behavior of some toll booth attendants and the details are pretty unbelievable. Drivers say they have been threatened with strip searches, road-side beat downs and even death by toll booth operators. After reading the list, one piece of advice sticks out: for a pleasant toll booth experience, avoid paying in pennies.
