A driver in his thirties defrauded the Reventin-Vaugris (Isère) toll for six months. He was unmasked by the anti-fraud unit of Vinci Autoroutes in the South of France. The events took place over months in 2021 and 2022. He has just been convicted by the courts.

He slipped through the net between August 2021 and January 2022. This driver in his thirties found an original way to evade the toll, reports Le Progrès.

When he went to the Reventin-Vaugris toll (Isère), on the A7 motorway at the wheel of his Audi A3, he entered the lane reserved for electronic toll subscribers, without a badge… When he called for assistance, he then assured that he had forgotten it. “For safety”, the officer did not ask him to back up and then opened the barrier.

A loss of more than 300 euros

“They opened the barrier for him, asking him to pay the amount. He had to put the money in a small box. Instead, he would put a few cents or sometimes kind words in it”, explains Vinci. He is said to have done this 25 times for an estimated loss of 308.41 euros, according to Ouest-France.

He was tried in the criminal court for fraud, failure to pay the toll and driving without a license. He was fined €1,000 and €250. He will also have to reimburse Vinci.
