At the Seniors Discount Club, it feels like we've seen it all! However, what we stumbled upon recently was certainly a new level of resourcefulness, or, dare we say, audacity.

Caught on camera by an amused motorist in Australia, a motorbike rider quite literally put his foot down in an effort to avoid the charges on a toll road.

Talk about throwing caution to the wind—or in this case, the licence plate!

The person witnessing this took the footage, where the rider could be seen lifting his foot to the back of the vehicle to obscure his licence plate from toll cameras.

And voilà—no number plate, no toll fee detection—quite a cunning ruse.

'This guy', the driver humorously captioned the video posted on the Mobile Phone Detection Camera Locations Australia Official Facebook page.

It quickly caught the public’s attention, garnering a range of reactions from seeing the motorbike rider as a 'legend' employing a cheeky tactic to others seeing it as plain shameless.

There was a discussion regarding toll fees for motorbike and scooter riders, with some expressing the belief that these vehicles should be exempt from paying tolls.

One commenter highlighted the perceived unfairness of motorcycles and scooters paying the same toll fees as larger vehicles.

They said, ‘It’s ridiculous that motorcycles and scooters have to pay the same amount for tolls as cars and 4WDs and vans do. How is that fair? They literally make up zero congestion and zero damage to the road they are riding on.’

Now, let's do a quick headcount of the toll roads in the country. With a total of 22, NSW boasts 13, while Victoria and Queensland house three and six, respectively.

It is essential to emphasise that such actions are not encouraged or condoned, as tolls are in place to support road infrastructure and maintenance. Source: Facebook

And the fee? A bit of a mixed bag here. Some calculate based on a set fee for the driver, while others measure the cost by the distance covered or based on the class of the vehicle—Class A (motorbike or car) or Class B (trucks and heavy vehicles).

The rules dictate that if the toll isn't paid by the due date, which is generally three days, a final toll notice featuring an administration fee is issued.

And if the final notice is left unpaid, be ready for a non-payment fine that may run into hundreds of dollars.

Key Takeaways

• A motorist was caught on camera using a foot to cover his licence plate to avoid paying a road toll.
• The amusing footage was shared on the Mobile Phone Detection Camera Locations Australia Official Facebook page, with many calling the driver a 'legend' for his cheeky trick.
• Some people voiced that toll roads should be free for motorcycles and scooters, arguing that they cause no congestion or road damage.
• If tolls are not paid by the due date, drivers may receive an administration fee and a non-payment fine, which can amount to hundreds of dollars.

While we don't condone attempting to trick the system as our motorbike friend did here, we have to admit it gave us a laugh.

And more importantly, it started a dialogue about whether motorcyclists are getting a raw deal when it comes to tolls.

So, what do you think? Would you label this bloke an ingenious rule bender or an infuriating toll dodger? Let us know in the comments below!

Smart boy, I'll give him 10/10 for that stunt.

If we are talking about the size of the vehicle then maybe we should be calculating the amount of toll due to the size of the vehicle. Should a little Fiat 500 pay the same toll as a Toyota Landcruiser? If you want a decent road to road on then then just pay the toll.

You hope they're enrolled.

 

[Cyberchook]

Smart boy, I'll give him 10/10 for that stunt.

Me too very innovative but also dangerous if he lost his balance if accelerating through the toll booths!

 

[Catherines]

Don’t motorbikes also have front number plates? How did he conceal that as well?

Take him off the road! - if it's good enough for everyone else than he should pay up too!

I, personally, don't use tolls. They don't exist in my neck of the woods. If I did, I reckon it would peeve me off a bit. They should pay me for taking my picture..could launch a thousand ships one day.
Having said that, I don't think my legs are long enough to cover the number plate on my car. such is life.

 

[Ross3844]

No, .. they don't have front number plates.

 

[mylittletibbies]

Glad I live in WA, we don't have any tolls. I thought we paid rego to cover roads and what about all the petrol tax. Should be no need for tolls.

 

[Catherines]

No, .. they don't have front number plates.

Thanks for the info - I’ve never bothered to look at the front of a motorbike. Perhaps that’s going to be my pastime today when my husband & I have to go out!!
