Pay-It-Forward Toll On A Rainy Night

--by Namaste, posted Feb 24, 2011

It was a very wet, rainy night, and I had forgotten my Fastrak (electronic toll payment transmitter) at home. Since I had to stop and pay by cash, I thought, "What a great night to tag someone with a Smile Card and pay their toll for them!"

I handed double the toll fare to the attendant and told him that this was for my car and the one behind me, and then I said, "Can you do me a big favor and give the people behind me this card?" I gave him the Smile Card, which he looked at curiously, and then I went on my way into the rainy night, without watching my rearview mirror to see who was behind me.

Fun!
