The Toll Terminator: How to Obliterate That Unpaid Bill
Florida has a nifty system called "Toll-by-Plate." Basically, when you breeze on by without a transponder or cash in hand, a camera snaps a pic of your license plate, and poof a bill magically appears in the mail.
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
Here's how to vanquish this toll-induced villain:
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
Channel your inner internet warrior: Head over to the SunPass website (https://www.sunpass.com/en/about/aboutsunpass.shtml). SunPass is pretty much the king of Florida tolls, and you can use their site to pay your dues even if you don't have a SunPass account.
Become a master of disguise (sort of): You can also mail a check or money order to the address listed on the invoice. Just be sure to channel your inner secret agent and make it payable to "FDOT" (Florida Department of Transportation).
Embrace the power of the phone: Feeling old school? You can dial 1-888-TOLL-FLA and pay over the phone using your debit or credit card.
Remember: Act fast, dude! Late fees are a real buzzkill, and you don't want to find yourself facing a scowl-inducing scofflaw violation.
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.

Pro Tip: While you're at it, consider setting up a SunPass account. It's like a magic toll booth pass that automatically deducts the fee whenever you zoom through a toll lane. Plus, you get discounts! Boom! You're officially a toll-paying pro.
FAQ: Unleashing Your Inner Toll-Paying Ninja
How do I find out how much I owe? Check your invoice, or you can look up your toll bill online at SunPass.com.
What if I lose my invoice? No worries! Contact the toll authority listed on the back of any missed toll notice you may have received.
Can I pay at a store? Unfortunately, not all stores accept toll payments. Your best bet is to use the online, mail, or phone options mentioned above.
Do I need a SunPass account to pay a missed toll? Nope! You can pay your bill even if you're not a SunPass user.
Is there a grace period for paying a missed toll? Not really. It's best to take care of it as soon as you receive the invoice to avoid late fees.
So there you have it! Now you're equipped to handle a missed Florida toll like a champ. Just remember, next time, keep an eye out for those toll booths. Unless, of course, you're aiming for that "rogue dolphin" vibe again. But hey, that's a story for another day.
