The inconveniences when you are driving any vehicle always happen. As strange as it may seem, even when you are stopped at the toll booth waiting for the barrier to open in order to pass, something very strange can happen.
Once you get to the toll booth, the same thing always happens. He takes out his hand, you pay and voilà the bar opens and you continue on your way. If you have an active telepass, there is no need to do anything because the system recognizes the machine and everything goes automatically. However, not always everything turns out for the best.
Sometimes, there may be small problems, easily solved unexpected events that in some cases generate panic and confuse the motorist who just doesn’t know what is best to do and what not.
Because the toll gate doesn’t work
If you stop at the toll booth and the barrier does not go up, the first thing to do is keep a cool head. The second is to think that toll booths generally have qualified personnel present or who observe everything from the cameras. So whoever realizes any misunderstandings or problems, intervenes immediately to resolve the issue. So you just have to wait.
The reason for the busbar malfunction it could be a trivial defect of the device. In this case, it takes a few minutes to resolve. The operator intervenes, reading the number of the plate and going to identify the customer, allowing shortly thereafter, the lifting of the bar and therefore the passage.
Sometimes it happens that the appliance does not work because it has a dead batterygenerally it is nothing problematic or unsolvable.
What not to do if you don’t want to get a fine
Should something like this happen, it is important to avoid behaving in a wrong and dangerous way, because you risk cause accidents and even receive fines. The first thing not to do is to start the reverse gear, because in this case you could run the risk of a struggle with all the other vehicles coming from behind.
The same thing applies to the choice of taking the side of the tollbooth as an escape route. This action is very dangerous and can only be carried out in real emergency conditions, qwhen there are no other alternatives. If the driver were to commit an infringement, he would receive a penalty ranging from a minimum of € 419 up to a maximum of € 1682. Furthermore, as if that were not enough, there is also a reduction of 10 points from the driving license.
