E-ZPass / Delaware River & Bay Authority Toll-by-Plate Defense
Delaware tolls (I-95 Newark, SR 1 Dover/Bay Bridge, Del. Memorial Bridge, Cape May-Lewes Ferry approach) operate via E-ZPass and toll-by-plate. The Delaware River & Bay Authority and DelDOT issue mailed toll-violation invoices. Common defenses: (a) plate misread, (b) valid E-ZPass account assigned but transponder missed, (c) vehicle sold prior to violation, (d) statute-of-limitations under 10 Del. C. §8106 (3 years).
Legal basis
Del. River & Bay Authority Toll Regulations; 17 Del. C. §1502 (DelDOT toll authority); 10 Del. C. §8106 (limitations)
