This is a link post Motorcycle only checkpoint
Probably fake, but made me smile. Short and sweet.

This is a normal post I wish they had this for bridge tolls!
what a pain it was in my motorcycling days to stop, take off my gloves, unbutton my pocket, take out my wallet, get the fare out, then put everything back- so much easier to just zip on thru! I have been told that some riders in the UK managed to get tolls eliminated for motorcycles... true?

This is a normal post I've not experienced this at the bigger toll thingies (M6, Dartford Crossing)
To save the faff, I keep a bunch of change in my right breast pocket (if I know I'm going to go through a toll). Then I just need to take off my left glove. Rather straightforward, I think. Just takes a bit of forethought.

By the way, the video above is amazing and hilarious. I lolled so hard.

This is a normal post In Scotland, they scrapped bridge tolls in 2006
But, from 1992 motorcycles were exempt on the Erskine Bridge, at least.
I think they reckoned the money lost was offset by the better traffic flow.
