The driver is accused of avoiding in excess of $5,400 in tolls using the device, which is illegal in Texas.
If you want to avoid or reduce the cost of paying hefty highway tolls, there are things you can try: Public transportation, using surface roads, or carpooling, to name a few. What you shouldn't do is follow the lead of a Texas man, who used an illegal license plate flipper in an effort to get out of paying thousands of dollars in fines.
For those unfamiliar with a plate flipper, it's a device that often does exactly what it sounds like: It allows the driver to temporarily flip around — or otherwise conceal from view — their license plate in order to avoid detection from traffic cameras, toll booths, and sometimes police and witnesses.
First violations of this law are only punishable by a fine of up to $500, but a repeat offender can be charged with a Class B misdemeanor, which can carry up to $2,000 in penalties and as many as 180 days behind bars.
