Haven't seen the dude in like 5 years, he's a mate's cousin's aunt's boyfriends's sister! Seriously! Then you have the usual response of : woohoo! Made the cut!

Crooked Jack wrote: » I used to work for the M50 toll crowd. the fines are utterly preposterous but you can get them reduced back down to €3, even €2.50 or €2 just by calling up. The problem with that whole set up is that people who have never or rarely use the road are totally unaware they've gone through the toll until a fine shows up at the door. usually followed by the second fine because it takes the first one so long to get out to the person. It's a shambles of a system. I can understand their anger.
RainyDay wrote: » Yes, pretty much - it's called responsible driving. But regardless, that's why I posted the links to the TWO photos. It's not just one sign. It is a series of signs, by the side, and overhead. Really, it's impossible to miss unless you drive with your eyes closed. Really, is there anyone who lives in Ireland who isn't aware of the M50 toll? That's why I asked the 'Are you living in a cave' question. How could you not be aware of it. But regardless, even if you're not aware of it, and even if you miss the many, many signs, all you have to do is pay the initial charge when the bill comes in the post. The initial charge is fairly modest. There is no excuse.

If it's handy for YOU, if YOU know all about it, if YOU think it's a great system, that's great for you. The fact is many people are not aware they've gone through a toll and are not aware that fines can be reduced by calling the company, they just get a threatening letter out of the blue and are understandably annoyed by it. But surprise surprise, the guy from Dublin thinks the whole country should know everything about Dublin otherwise you're an idiot.
RainyDay wrote: » Or else maybe huge numbers of people think 'ah sure I'll get away with it' and then try to spin a line about how they've never heard of the M50 toll when they ring up about their fine - take your pick as to which scenario is most likely. Funny though, when I'm on an unfamiliar road, that is when I'm most attentive to signs. But others were apparently able to read enough road signs to get themselves on and off the M50, but miraculously missed the signs about the toll. Strange that.... They should be annoyed at themselves for not seeing the large and obvious signs. And even if the first they hear of it is the 'threatening' letter, they should pay it up early, as the initial late penalty fee is modest - €10 I think.
