Of Mapquest and Toll roads

I have driven quite a few hundred miles in the past couple months. I have driven through 5 states and there were a few things that annoyed me immensely. Namely Mapquest and toll roads.
I use have mapquest alot in the past, and usually it workes out just fine for me. I just type in my address and the address of my destination and I get directions. Pretty neat, but lately I think that Mapquest is possessed. I have gotten lost so many times in the past few weeks by using it. It is like they are screwing with my head. "Oh, he wants to go there...let's give him the opposite directions". And they are sutble about it. If I am supposed to go south and I see that they are sending my north I would notice, but they wait until they have me on a busy interstate with exits and people flying by...then the have me take the wrong exit. Once they told me to take exit A then merge onto exit B. When I got to the "correct" exit, A was on the right of the highway and exit B was on the left. Hummmm. Not too helpful. I need to find a better site to get directions from.
What really is the point of toll roads? Are we supposed to be paying to drive on this road and with the money they can keep it in good shape? BECAUSE IT IS NOT WORKING!!! Toll roads are by far the crappyest roads that I have ever driven on. So I am paying money...alot of it...to drive on the worst roads in America. Where is all the money going? Thousands of cars a day...at over a dollar a car...that is alot of money! And then you come upon the tolls that are like 15 cents. Are you serious, give me a break. It is like they just need to get money from you somehow a so 15 cents is better then nothing I guess.
Anyway...I am done for now, I will rip on something else in a few days...
