It’s all a game to make money

Well, perhaps it's time to dispense with the automatic plate readers, put up a tollbooth, and create a few jobs? It would prevent dodging and the taxpayer money wasted in the courts could certainly be put to better use.

Driving home for Christmas not !

ultimately toll roads need to be bought back by the state anyway... ridiculous to have some HGV ratrunning minor roads to evade expensive truck tolls

€ 12,500 Each +Just B4 Xmass Can u pay by the week . €20 /wk That's the value of a good Arthur Daly Every Day Vehicle

Those fines get ridiculously large very quick.

Never get that money

Doesn't matter can't get blood from a stone

👏👏
