I have come up with this question, it may sound stupid, but nevertheless my father says he understands where the question is coming from.
Over the course of my travels via rides with other people. I have noticed that some drivers when they are driving on a toll road get off the exit before the toll plaza and then get back on, thereby avoiding to pay the toll. My question is as follows: Isn’t that considered stealing from the State when you do the above mentioned method of avoiding to pay tolls while driving on tolls roads which most times are the most direct route to your destination?
Its not stealing and its not illegal. You do not have to pay any more than you are legally required to pay.
It would be very different if you used some illegal or semi-legal method to avoid the toll.
BTW many times this method adds more time to the trip than its worth. It is not a zero sum game
Tell them to lower the charge. Maybe that will make it less feasible..
G’neivas da’as applies when, for example, you ask a storekeeper for the price of an item, leading him to believe you are interested in it, when you have no intention of purchasing it regardless of the price.
You do not mislead anyone by entering a toll road.
No, the toll is for going through the tollbooth.
If it would trully be a toll road there would be no entrance or exit without a toll booth. This is the way it is by bridges. These roads in which you can leve an exit earlier and avoid tolls, aren’t real toll roads. They just have the right to charge you for using the full length.
