The stupid plate tricks of Florida motorists
Most motorists hate paying tolls, but drivers in Florida apparently really hate coughing up their hard-earned dollars. Some have decided they're done paying altogether, and will go to novel ways to thwart toll booth cameras. We say "novel" as a kind way of saying "moronic."
Friends leaning out of open hatchbacks, motorcyclists kicking their feet back to obscure their own license plates are just two of the tricks used by these apparently sovereign citizens to avoid getting caught for not paying road tolls. The St. Petersburg Times compiled a few of the Florida Department of Transportation's finest toll evaders.

So they avoid one lousy toll-fee to end up paying a much more serious one. Those guys standing on the rear bumper and leaning out of the hatchback are clearly in violation the "Click-it-or Ticket" Seat-Belt-use laws. In many states, including my own (VA), that carries a stiff fine.

Well.... did these guys get away with it?? ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
The fellow on the bike with his legs kicked back is pretty clever, I'll admit. My thinking for these people doing it seems to be that they have a lot more to lose than just a few bucks if they were to get caught; as in criminal records.
