914 Washington State Department of Transportation this weekend activated photo tolling on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge where previously drivers could stop and pay at a toll booth or use a Good To Go pass.

“We regularly hear from drivers, usually visitors from out of town, who unintentionally missed the toll booth and want to know what to do to pay the toll,” said WSDoT Toll Division Director Craig Stone. “Now, those drivers can pay the toll without being automatically fined and that money will go back to the Narrows Bridge instead of going to the court.”

The new Pay By Mail and Pay By Plate options allow drivers without a Good To Go! pass to use the electronic toll lanes. The registered owner of the vehicle will receive a toll bill in the mail. Drivers who don’t pay within 80 days will receive a notice of civil penalty for US$40 plus the accumulated tolls and fees. All money collected will go back to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge account.

    A new campaign is calling on UK drivers to ‘sharpen up’ their act by getting their eyesight tested every two years to ensure their vision meets legal standards and they aren't putting people in danger. The campaign by road safety charity Brake, in association with the DVLA, insurer RSA and Specsavers, comes as new research shows many drivers are failing to ensure they can see properly on every journey. A survey of 1,000 UK drivers by Brake, RSA and Specsavers finds that a quarter of drivers (26%) haven't ha
