Dart was a four-star recruit and turned out to be a solid football player for the Trojans and Rebels.<\/p>\n<p>However, it did mean he lacked the experience of driving on highways with tolls. Utah has very few toll roads and, depending on where a Utah native lives, they may never have to use the express lanes on the interstate. Mississippi doesn\u2019t have toll roads.<\/p>\n<p>As Dart assimilates into the northeast part of the U.S., especially in New Jersey and New York, he\u2019s learned what tolls are and how to navigate the E-ZPass system. <\/p>\n<p>A video of Dart driving on the New Jersey Turnpike went viral over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what this stuff means \u2013 these ticket, E-ZPasses,\u201d Dart said as he approached one of the tolls.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Dart had the option of using the E-ZPass lane or taking a ticket and paying the toll as he got off one of the exits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just drive by it every time,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n<p>Dart is likely to be backed up on paying his tolls.

Charles Wenzelberg \/ New York Post<\/p>\n<p>If Dart chooses to live around the East Rutherford area, he shouldn\u2019t have many tolls to pay if he stays on the local routes.<\/p>\n<p>Dart made his preseason debut on Saturday against the Buffalo Bills. He was 12-of-19 with <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/08\/09\/sports\/jaxson-dart-throws-absolute-dime-for-first-giants-touchdown-pass\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">154 yards and a touchdown pass<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Dart is just now learning to navigate the east coast E-ZPass system.
