    Default Chicago, Illinois missed toll payments

    I found out how to pay the tolls that some of us missed. It's a confusing system both paying the tolls on some of the roads like when they have no toll takers and ask for exact change and you don't have any change. And also filling out this form and paying them. They give you 7 days to take care of it. http://www.illinoistollway.com/homepage

    We kept pulling over to the side of the fwy to pay the $1.50. We always had exact change because I made sure I broke a $5 in quarters haha. Thx for the info though.

    It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife btw. She was very lovely

    Dottie did it on our way to Josie's. I have a ton of change in my purse but I didn't have my purse with me. I don't want her to have to pay a $150. fine for a silly handful of change. I'll make sure that she sees this thread. Thanks, Jerry.

    Thanks for the link Jerry....I missed 3 tolls coming to the show but paid all 3 going home.
    The problem is 7 days have passed so I'll wait for the Fed's to cross the border and take me away.
    Does Nada have it in the budget to bail out member's.

    I'd pay them online anyway Ralph. My guess is they say the 7 days so people don't put it off and forget, but may very well not strictly enforce the 7 days.

    I said screw it on the way home and blew through the electronic booths. I probably should check. From what I can tell it's an incredibly complicated, tedius, stupid system. Illinois, let me type in my license number and you show me my total, I don't want to sit on a google maps type of page and identify my route especially in a city I've only been to once. I have no idea where I was.

    Still haven't paid my tolls from Texas in 2012....

    Ha-Ha Matt we talked about this at the show.
    I went on the map and tried to check my route but gave up as I too had no idea where I was because GPS routed me to the hotel. I'll wait for a bill if I ever get one

    I think that Dottie is going to blow it off as well. She will never drive to Chicago again. It is no place for country bumpkins.

    Isn't that the truth?? I didn't want to get pulled over this trip, but if I did I was kind of excited to post a photo and caption to start a new tradition.
