Toll Evasion

FasTrak was kind enough to send me a photo evading the Golden Gate Bridge toll. As it turns out, I was in violation, but only because the toll attendant waved me through after I stopped and asked about the toll for motorcycles. This isn't the best use of my time, but I can't stomach paying a fine after trying to do the right thing. I'm contesting the ticket, and I'm recording my response to FasTrak here because I need to vent to someone (or everyone, it seems):

As I approached the toll both, I looked for information about HOV/Carpool lanes, and information about how motorcycles are classified. Not spotting anything relevant, I entered toll lane that accepted cash, and waited my turn. I came to a full stop next to the toll booth, and asked the attendant about motorcycles. He waved me through.

Having received this ticket notification, I researched the toll rules for motorcycles crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. I see now that carpool hours end at 6pm for the Golden Gate Bridge, as opposed to 7pm for the Interstate freeways in this area. However, I didn't have access to a computer and the internet while on my motorcycle at the toll booth, and chose to trust the attendant instead.

I am requesting that this ticket be waived, on account of misdirection by the employee collecting tolls. There is no danger that I'll repeat this violation, because I have memorized the bridge schedule, know it is different than the Interstate schedule, and am unlikely to trust a toll booth employee unless they refuse to take my money.
