I would get sent a bill if I did not have either an EZ-Pass or Quick
Pass. The NC road does not have any cash tolls. It is all done by
scanning a bar code pass, having a transponder, or having the license
plate scanned and a bill sent. As long as I have either EZ-Pass or Quick
Pass, I would get the lower rate and avoid the possibilites of penalties
for failure to pay a toll charge bill.

Bringing Toll into the cooking realm:
(I haven't made this, but it sounds good)
