Okay, maybe "ransom" is a strong word, but you will have to pay a fee for the replacement tag. Think of it as a toll for getting a new toll tag. How meta is that?
Step 6: Wait for Your New Best Friend
Now comes the hardest part: waiting. It's like waiting for your birthday, but with less cake and more toll roads.
