NSW toll roads to be E-Tag only in 2005

LOL
Sometimes ill informed comments like Martin's post make me cranky.

Still incorrect.
I told you the media had a field day on this.

Wow. Headline says "CityLink admits fining drivers with faulty e-tags"
and I'm still incorrect????

Remember, you asked me "who told me this" and I posted you a link.
Citylink DID fine drivers for non-functioning E-tags. Whether it was
right or wrong, it still did it. And it would still be doing it if it
wasn't caught out.

Personally, I reckon that CAV should've had their guts for garters over
that one.

 

So you believe a newspaper headline over first hand facts Martin? I told
you a factual true first hand account yet you believe a newspaper headline.

 

What I am saying is there is more to this than what you read in the papers.
Usually people stung are the ones that take advantage of a situation.
their etag doesnt beep so they think :you beauty I get free travel" only
to be stung later.
It's like when someone accidentally deposits $5000 into your account by
accident so then you go on a spending splurge.
Read between the lines Martin.

So, are you denying that Citylink ever fined anyone at all, because
their E-tags failed? You reckon that the Age and other media outlets
made it up?

Are you? Forgive me for thinking that you said that this never
happened..

I have no doubt whatsover that this may have occured. The original point
of this chat, though, was that I made reference to people being fined
for having dead E-tags and you said that it didn't happen.
