Drove through Sydney Harbour bridge without Tag. What to do? Please help

Hi guys,

I drove through the Sydney Harbour Bridge without a tag yesterday (8th Jan) and it says I need to pay within 3 days. (States on RMS)

I'm currently on the RMS site and I followed the prompts, however it says that I need to register an eMU Pass which involves a $1.50 registration fee. Do I proceed with this? OR is there some other way?

Regards,

    Proceed. Emu pass is like a once off pass. It's a pain to go through but it's the only option. I had to go through it last year.

    • Alright, Thanks mate!

      • do what Dark oz says and get it over with.

    You drove through it!!!

    Did you break it?

  • In 2001 we crossed the Harbour Bridge obeying a huge neon sign showing the letter E. Of course, they would not take physical money at the booth, and some days later we received a bill. I telephoned, spoke to the manager, and explained we followed his sign. He said that was for the electronic toll lane. I said it said no such thing, it did not say electronic or e-toll or e-way, just a huge E, and it has been common knowledge for many centuries that E on maps and signs stands for East, which is the direction we required. He said we can't call it E-toll because of copyright and he told me to tear up the bill.

      I'll take Things That Never Happened for 300.

      • We intended to use the tunnel, but when we saw the huge E we followed that, assuming E meant East, and expecting a subsequent sign to direct us to the tunnel. But we couldn't see one and eventually reached a point of no return.

      Cool story bro.

      • It was either 2001 or 2002. We live in the Lower Hunter and have not driven to Central Sydney since.

    Turn yourself in at the nearest police station

      Or place yourself under house arrest and watch the entire back catalogue of the X-files. That should be long enough and you'll get some good conspiracy theories out of it as to why e-tolls are mind tracking and you'll never drive through an e-toll again.

  • log on to RMS site and buy a eMU pass. This pass will:

    1. Cost $1.5 reg fee (as you already know). Your CC will be charged the day you buy this pass for $1.5
    2. You can cover last three days of travel under the pass.
    3. Your card will be charged for the toll you owe in the next few days.
    4. You will not receive any notice thereafter.

    I have done this 3/4 time in the last 3 years or so. Have not bought a tag, just buy an eMU pass everytime I need to drive through a toll road.

    • Includes a 75cents video processing fee, that's a rip!!

    They are going to take you. NamandSpam, stay focused, baby. This is key.

    You will have five, maybe ten seconds. Very important seconds.

    Leave the phone on the floor. Concentrate.

    Guys, I love the sense of humour but now isn't the time to be goofing around. I mean, I'm already under so much pressure from my parents and yet, I'm here trying to deal with these 29 year olds joking around as if they're just about to graduate from clown school. Cut the slack AND GET OUTTA HERE!

    Thanks to those that helped, I appreciate the love

    Btw, I am not a male nor am I a female.

    Meow.

    • Keep looking at me. It’s alright. It’s alright. Look. Look at me. Keep looking at me. It’s alright. It’ll slide over you. It’ll start to feel warm. Nice and warm. It’ll move over you. It’s alright.
