Penn State university claims to have the biggest alumni association in all of America — which resulted in one “PSU” license plate in a lot of other states.
That didn’t matter either until states started using cameras to enforce highway tolls.
“It actually started with Delaware,” Snyder said. “There was a BMW with A ‘PSU’ tag that kept going through their toll booths down there.”
“I fought them for three years,” she said, sending them all the evidence they should have needed and more that she didn’t drive a BMW, never mind that — as far as she’s concerned — any state sophisticated enough to figure out her address should also be able to figure out what kind of car is on her registration.
Then came New Jersey — which she said was particularly reasonable about canceling the bills as soon as she called and pointed out the error — and Pennsylvania, where out-of-state “PSU” plates were causing her to get billed but where a PennDOT representative made a note in a system to check “PSU” photos manually before billing Snyder. Problem solved.
But Maryland? Sent her a ticket for a black sedan with a “PSU” license plate from an unrecognizable state and nothing else about it in common with Snyder’s white crossover.
