Virginia man faces $200k in tolls

Toll booths

A Virginia man has reached a settlement with that state’s Department of Transportation over unpaid toll road fees.

According to the NBC News affiliate in Washington, D.C., Jason Bourcier racked up more than $40,000 in unpaid tolls over three and a half years, as a result of his frequent use of the area’s Dulles Toll Road during his search for work. Bourcier reportedly believed a friend, who told him that he could use the road after 11:30pm at night without paying a toll.

EMC & eMobility

For a company embarking on EMC testing for either component or vehicle-level testing of their EV products, it is necessary first to have a good understanding of the EMC regulatory situation.

Bourcier ignored repeated summonses from the Virginia DOT, but was finally hauled into court in November 2013 to settle his bill. The DOT estimated that Bourcier owed more than $200,000, including late fees and interest. However, the parties were able to agree on a settlement that will have Bourcier repaying the $150 a month for the next 54 years!
