That's nice of them to atleast pay the tolls. That'll knock off some of that 350 million dollar budget.

[@Wendoverproductions]

That little factoid about the drivers window being the only one to open was very clearly sourced, but I couldn't find one example of the president actually stopping to pay tolls. If you think about it, it'd be quite stupid security-wise to do that since then there'd be a clear spot where the motorcade would stop for an attacker. That's why I said "reportedly" there. Some have speculated that's so they can go through the drive-through :P

[@CGagnon5]

plus it would be pants-on-head retarded if they didn't just have an ez-pass

[@TheFreshQuince]

yea i don't buy that, surely they can just pay in advance if at all, stopping all those cars and exposing the driver would be ridiculous

[@tangtaster]

Most tolls you can pay online after. The drivers windows going down might be because when the motorcade enters restricted areas, usually the first car in a convoy says how many vehicles in line and how many people are inside. Very common with military convoys.

[@DoomFinger511]

As someone who has lived in DC and now NY, you left out that the Secret Service will also weld shut every manhole cover and blue mailbox along the travel route. They also will place snipers on numerous buildings along the route. The window going down on the driver side of the limo isn't really for tolls. That was based on an anecdote a former driver said when they drove through a very rural area and had to pay a few cents for a toll booth. The real reason is so the driver can communicate and pass tangible items between himself and the secret service agents when they are walking alongside the limo. Other facts are the limo's tires (which are lined with kevlar) are filled with a gel-like substance (instead of air) so if shot, they don't blow out. Also, the rims are extended inside the tires so they can drive at highway speeds for several miles if a tire loses pressure.

@@Coonass You can copy anything I said into google and won't find an article that matches it word for word. I didn't "copy and paste" anything. I saw the snipers on top of buildings and the roped off roads where they welded the manhole covers and mailboxes all the time. The reason I lived in DC (1998-2003) was because my father was a special agent for the department of justice. He was friends with many secret service agents and would tell me about non-classified secrets that weren't common knowledge. Like for instance the front lawn of the white house has incredibly powerful lights that come out of the ground to blind intruders in-case they try to rush the front door over the lawn. He also called me and my mom during the 9/11 attacks and was able to tell us to get out of the city because it was an attack not some plane accident. That allowed us to beat the panic traffic before it was officially announced on the news.

I will say. My father who has been in Traffic for 25 years for the Police Force. Has done many presidential motorcades. Whenever the President or some Head of State was in town. He was Lead Car, Tail Car, Route Car, Wing Cars and drove the Secret Service Agents around. A couple of times issued in re-routes when shit kind of just popped up. Nothing bad. Just a pesky train deciding to go through the route. When it was not scheduled or major accident happening before the Route Car drives up. Yeah. He did it all. And he loved it. And yes he has meant Bush Jr, Obama, and Trump. Plus several heads of states and pretty much every branch of the military's top brace. And as much as you are giving a nice overview of what goes into an escort. There is so much more and a lot of it is not public knowledge. Though they make no secrets about it. Just do not talk about it.

I once saw an interesting thing happen to a presidential motorcade. After the regular civilian traffic resumed behind it, a woman pulled out of a gas station and accidentally hit another civilian car. All of a sudden all traffic stopped and it was clear these were not all civilian cars, they were secretly still part of the motorcade. The woman's vehicle was instantly surrounded by about a dozen or more "civilian" cars with full tactical police getting out with automatic weapons. Then a bunch of plain-clothes people who looked like spectators standing on the street were on walkie talkies and it was clear even many of the plain-clothes public "spectators" were actually part of it as well. Once they realised this was just an honest traffic accident and not an attempt on the president they sped off to remerge with the traffic following the motorcade. Poor woman, it's bad enough getting in a traffic accident, but to then have your car instantly surrounded by police with automatic weapons suspecting your trying to assassinate the president. Eventually they let her go but I'm sure she had quite a story to tell her friends later that day. So yea, there's more to presidential motorcades than what's in this video.
