Dear Drivers Without E-Z Pass That I Shared The Road With Yesterday —
Listen, I don’t care if you don’t have E-Z Pass. You could have any number of reasons, and they’re all valid.
But when there’s a left lane that warns you three miles ahead via sinage and text on the road itself that it’s “E-Z Pass Only,” please, get the hell out of the lane.
This weekend you caused a three mile backup during which I was dealing with a screaming baby. When we approached the tollbooths, each and every one of you freaking tools merged over into the non-E-Z Pass Only lanes. The three leftmost E-Z Pass lanes were completely unused, which means that the left lane should have been nearly empty. Thanks for being idiots, idiots.
Love Dearly,
Ryan

E-Z Pass means never having to roll down your window in crappy weather. It changed my life

At least you get a warning. Out here, our local equivalent doesn’t bother with good signage. Usually they’ll have a sign a quarter of a mile before the booths, and it will be *wrong*. It’s annoying enough that I would rather avoid driving.
And the traffic people on the morning news seem constantly shocked that when they open a new Fastrack lane, traffic gets much worse for about a month. Sigh. But I guess they drive into work in the wee hours, before there are other cars to contend with.
