TRUCKER'S TRICK * USA
- Trucker uses license plate trick to avoid NY tolls
New York,NY,USA -Penton Media/Fleet Owner, by Deborah Whistler -Oct 19, 2011: -- Truckers have long complained about the high cost of tolls to haul freight in and out of New York City, which recently passed a huge toll increase. One trucker used a unique approach in an attempt to avoid a $65 toll on the George Washington Bridge Saturday morning... Nelson Vaquiz was hauling a load of iron pipes north on Interstate 95 Saturday at around 6:30 a.m., when he was caught pulling a cord that made his license plate disappear just as he passed under the E-Z Pass toll camera. A sharp-eyed Port Authority police officer saw the plate mysteriously vanish and reappear... Vaquiz fashioned the crude system with a wire cable that made his front Virginia license plate rise up and down. The device would allow him to pass through E-ZPass lanes at toll booths, but not get fined. He allegedly had the back plate on his trailer bent up so that it couldn’t be read by cameras... Vaquiz is a 36-year-old self-employed truck owner from Beaverdam, VA, his Peterbilt tractor-trailer was impounded and he posted $5,000 bail...
