Some kind of way I ran across this website for the top toll violators in Texas. One person owes over $230,000.00 in unpaid tolls. There are several over $100,000.00. How can someone get this far into it without any concequences? How long does it take to run up $236,000.00 worth of tolls?

Tolls

All minorities. Racist to prosecute them.

My guess (and it is just a guess) is that most of them are business owners who hand out transponders in their own name to all their salespeople and tell them to just bust the tolls.

My toll could be $7 a day for 40 miles round trip

Would take me 55 years to hit 100k

A lot of people have figured out that if you overwhelm the system, you'll likely win. (See: red-light cameras, along with Ferguson, Mo., people who have refused to pay their fines.)

You'd think that with the money that does come in the roads would be a little bit less shitty.

Exactly. Most of it is fines, not actual tolls

For you Texas people, are these private owned toll roads so they really have no way to enforce the tolls? All they can do is ban them from using the roads?

These are all people using 130. You can tell by where they live. I believe 130 is owned by a Brazilian company.

Still, one person has over 14000 toll violations.

130 goes a long ways and the speed limit is 85 so you can cover it all pretty quickly. We had a guy at work who had a company car with no toll tag who lived in Seguin and drove to central Austin and back every day. He racked up thousands.

But again, I believe it's owned by Brazilians or Spanish. I don't they they can make you pay. They can just come after your credit.

It was proposed to deny their car registration (or drivers license renewal?) but there were questions about an entity like the tollway authorities (like North Texas Tollway Authority) or private companies that leased the facilities (like the Spanish with the Austin bypass) having that power, so it didn't happen.

Red-light cameras... similar. The Legislature allowed cities to deny auto registration, but the counties that handle registration didn't want to play because they didn't think it was worth their time (not enough $$$).
