Didn't purchase an Expressway / vignette before driving on highways in Czech Republic. What can I expect?
Unfortunately I didn't know that Czech Republic doesn't have tollbooths- drivers are required to purchase a sticker before getting on any highway - until I arrived in Prague.
What happens next? I imagine they're going to ticket my rental company (Avis) - but what are the fines, and is there any way I can pay online immediately to reduce the fine (like I do in California)?
