Fuel, tolls, additional costs, trips to departure are overpriced.

We know that traveling by car, especially long-distance trips, is very expensive today and not available to everyone. Because on top of the fuel price, it’s also the tolls that hurt the wallet a lot, while the road companies have increased the bill very significantly. The average amount did increase by 2% at the start of the year, and is still expected to increase further by around 5% in 2023. Obviously, this can provide some ideas, particularly regarding duty evasion. But it is difficult and obviously very dishonest. However, this is something that the driver has not hesitated to do for several months.
👉 Until 2024, toll barriers along the A13, a #highway known for its traffic jams, will be removed.
But this fast lane won’t be free. 🛣 https://t.co/Ta51VaGjzR pic.twitter.com/IucQnLc7Jw

Serious fraud
While living in Perpignan, she regularly drove the motorway but never paid a toll. Indeed, in order to deceive, the driver, whose name and age have not been released, did not put anything in the mailbox that was used to receive the checks intended for payment. Sometimes she just put a blank piece of paper to deceive the authorities. A little game that went on like this for a few months until we noticed the cheating. In general, as the authorities explain, “andThere were 19 trips without payment, from March 30 to January 25, 2020“. If the authorities searched for the culprit for a long time because of a a gray card that was not currentthis one was finally caught.
An incredible excuse
To justify her actions, the drivers explain that she must go to Lannemezan prison to see her husband, who is imprisoned there. She further justifies her fraud with weak wealth, at the same time explaining that she lives on RDA and social assistance. However, this was not enough to sway the judge who sentenced her 1000 euro fine suspended sentence, as well as an obligation to compensate Autoroutes du Sud de France (ASF). In total, the damages amount to 278.30 euros.
Why is this important? The first motorway without a toll barrier opens in Allier: a model for the future? – https://t.co/TX5r8CJ1uh
