You can't get Etags either. I don't use tollways.

That reminds me of an experience a friend had in New York in the 1960's. He wanted to rent a car and in those days C/Cards were things like Diners or Amex. Hardly even known in OZ. After going through his wallet I think he produced a NRMA membership card in the end. This was accepted and he got his rental car!

That same friend also had a lucky escape on that trip. He had to fly somewhere and flying was like a bus trip you got in the queue and the plane loaded. When full it took off. He was about 6 places behind the last passenger. That plane never made it to its destination no survivors.
