How do you pay a New Jersey toll that you missed?

I just got back from driving through New Jersey and going through all those stupid 35 and 70 cent tolls. I am embarrassed to say I screwed up like 3 of them. One I went to toss the money in and missed and just had no more change to put in the machine so I had to keep goin, one I wasn’t aware that you couldn’t put pennies in, and one on the way home just never said whether or not I could go! I saw a phone number on a bunch of signs after that one saying if you had missed a toll to call this number, but as you’re driving it’s hard to read a sign and memorize the 800 number. I was told that if you skip a toll they snap a picture of your car and send you a ticket for it. Anyone know how I avoid that happening?? I don’t know how much the tickets are for or what they do to your insurance but I don’t want them!! Thanks…..

Try this.
I once skipped a toll in Illinois, it was a fairly easy process. I had to mail a check for 50 cents. LOL.
WELL THEY ALLOW MISSING 3 TOLLS A YEAR BEFORE YOU GET FINED SO YOU SHOULD BE OK
They do not allow three missed tolls a year, disregard the above answer. You may be fined $31 for each toll missed. Tolls are equipped and do take photos of your vehicle as you pass through.
The easiest way to pay the toll is to contact the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which covers both the Garden State Parkway and NJ Turnpike. Their phone number is (732) 750-5300.
They will provide you with the correct means to pay for the missed tolls.
U R lucky u didnt do it in New York. People and police use gun there. Toll for bridge is $9 and the fine for three misses, mmm…
