LicensePlateToll E-470 Public Highway Authority Express Toll Colorado Approved Ripoff Denver Internet

I just received a License Plate Toll Statement listing charges and a Past Due charge for using a Toll Road (E-470) that I did not know even existed. I took a road that connects I-25 to I-70 outside of Denver Colorado that did not know was a toll road until I just got the bill for.  According to the statement, I was on this road for just over 15 minutes so around 15 miles. Three toll plazas for $10.65 each so about $2.13/mile.  They say that 2 other bills were sent before adding a past due charge. 

There were no other statements sent to my address.  I drive on toll roads all the time in Oklahoma and Kansas and pay the tolls in cash with no problem.  A toll road across oklahoma cost some $18.00 pulling a 5th wheel trailer.  The amount of the toll for E-470 is a rip-off by itself. Then to be charged a late charge on their word that other statements were sent for a toll road that never had a toll booth to pay at is just state sponsored robbery.  Avoid Colorado highways when possible.  If you do drive through, get ready to bend over when they stick it to you.
