North Texas Tollway Authority board member Bill Moore recently found himself on the receiving end of some toll enforcement that Texans aren’t used to. During a trip to Slovenia, Moore was driving on a toll road when a van pulled him over. He was told he was being fined 165 euros for not having a toll tag on his rental car. That equates to about $220.

Back home, people without toll tags simply pay a 50-percent markup on toll rates.

Moore said at an NTTA committee meeting this morning that there was a swarm of vans enforcing the toll rules. He said his fine had to be paid on the spot.

“And they would not take American Express,” he said.
