Toll Booth VIOLATION

You know when you go through the toll booths and you use your SunPass and it beeps? Well if the beep sounds different than usual, you should check it. I thought maybe the battery was low. But I didn't change it. So I kept using the toll road with the new weird beeping. Well, it wasn't until Scott went through one, had to slam on the brakes and almost took off the arm of the toll booth on the hood of the car that I thought to myself quietly of course, "Hmmmm... there really could be something wrong with the SunPass." As I'm writing this, I realize how totally "just like a woman" this sounds. Well, today's mail delivered a toll violation letter. And when they have the cameras at the booth, they take really, REALLY good pictures of the backend of your car!! So the letter says we owe the state $3.50 which is about accurate of the times I've used it with the weird beeping sound. Note to self: change the batteries in the SunPass when it makes a weird beeping sound and when the Check Oil LEVEL light comes on in the car, you should check it or at least tell your husband that the oil level might be low and not continue driving it around town so that when he sees the light, asks, checks it and the oil does not even register on the dipstick, you have to confess that it has been coming on and off for a week or so and that you thought it just flashed because of the way the car was sitting.......the other way to look at it is when you go get your oil changed, you should not have to pay the fee for them to dump the oil because there is hardly anything in it. But that doesn't really work with your husband so I don't recommend trying that. And remember: pay your tolls!!!
