Although Bug is smooth, Uncle Sam is better at rape then Ed is at subtle persuasion.
IF they got his plate, my guess is 5 hundo to a grand.
Because the gov't is strapped for cash, they'll do whatever they can to get some. Wouldn't be surprised if a citation is issued in addition to an inflated repair bill.
The state will apologize to him for putting that arm in his way. Then bug will sit back and proclaim that he does not always drink beer, but when he does, he prefers dos equis
Seriously tho, what should I have done? - Who could I have called? -It was 9:30pm in the middle of no where and no one around - I went back and there is nothing and no one to even tell
Would the expect me to have called the cops and waited? - If so then I guess I AM in the wrong here
Dood, you did the right thing. Most importantly, you kept the shiny side up. I guess I'm just a pessimist when it comes to our dear old Uncle Sammy fishin for cash. :rofl
If there were no cameras, then I wouldn't worry about it. Even if they do contact you, state u paid, the thing didn't open, and u were not from there and had no idea what to do.
Took my bro out to NIU for his orientation on the back of my cycle in 1987, and he held the toll money to make it easier. Went up to the toll, waited for the guy to pay his toll and move up. He moved up, but didn't pay the whole toll obviously, and when we threw our money in, we basically paid his toll, so once the gate opened we took off behind the car and tried to make it through too. The gate came down quick, I ducked, and it hit my bro in the shoulder and busted the gate into pieces. We took off. :laughing: Nothing ever happened from that. WAY before cameras though.
Nada - Like I posted, I did not see any cameras and it was pitch black out - It was a very small (2) gate un-manned toll booth - Not all fancy schmancy like the Ill ones - That being said, I prob have a notice from them now that I just typed that - FML
With My Use Of TOTAL AWESOMENESS and lack of smarts
