pull over before the toll, take off your plates, run through EZ pass, then put em back on down the road.

Hey I never said anything about not paying the tolls....
Paying the tolls is important. When someone doesn't pay, we all suffer the increases.

Well, I suppose the limit was technically 40mph.

lesson learned. i guess it was just an experiment, not an attempt to bypass the toll-paying aspect of the trip. i completely understand now.
still, it was a little dangerous. you could've taken yourself out before the toll and taken at least one toll-taker with you. all ball-busting aside, think about what you're doing before you actually do it. it just seems a little reckless from my point of view (and obviously others).
drive defensively, not like a moron.

Jim,
Express lanes don't have any tollbooth workers in the vicinity. It is 2 wide-open lanes; toll workers get to their booths from the opposite side so they don't go anywhere near the express lanes.
As for hurting myself, I have a death wish :P j/k

so that makes it less stupid when there are other cars on the road and a merge jsut a few hundred yards past the toll? face it, what you did was pretty damn dumb.
