What to do if the toll barrier does not open (or if we entered the toll lane without having it?)

Model: (Various brands) Various

This is not a video that directly concerns the car but is still related to it: what should we do if we arrive at the toll booth and it doesn't open? It can happen. Maybe the battery of our toll device has run out, or they are having communication problems. No worries. The essential thing is - as the YouTuber rightly tells us - not to put the car in reverse to try another lane: that would indeed be a serious mistake. We press the assistance button: a friendly gentleman (or lady) will answer us and ask where we entered - they ask us out of courtesy; they know our license plate number and can check in 20 seconds - they open the barrier and let us pass. If, on the other hand, we don't have a toll device and we ended up there by mistake, we definitely should not put the car in reverse! We press the assistance button, they let us pass, we go to one of the assisted positions or the blue point, and they give us a payment slip that we can pay practically anywhere within 15 days. Let's not try to be clever because they will find us even at the North Pole.
