I've had a cab driver from JFK to Manhattan try to add tolls to the ride. When we went over the Manhattan bridge a message appeared saying a $14 toll was added. Had to argue with him and he kept saying "No sir, there are tolls when you come into Manhattan, all of the tunnels and bridges". I had to literally stress to him I drive in the city and know you're trying to scam me. He took it off but I still filed the 311 - called in and he plead guilty to it. It's worth following up about.

Honestly I'm surprised they even have plates on those cars, I understand having some strong security measures for motorcade vehicles. The cars should be an exact match with no way to identify which car the governor is inside of. (Ie Why there are always two limos in the presidential motorcade)

As others mentioned the cars are driven by state troopers anyways and likely when they are in a motorcade in the city they have emergency lights on anyways.
