I Hate That Damn EZ-PASS!

Do you guys keep your EZ-Pass or equivalent on your windshield 24/7? I pull mine out of the center storage when I need it. I think I'll be keeping it on the windshield from now on. I sometimes forget to pull it out in the hi speed EZ-Pass lanes.

Checked the mail box today and got THREE of these!!

Gotta love those SS inserts though :)

I have mine mounted behind the mirror on the right side, I don't even see it. I'm just afraid of using it in one of my other vehicles and forgetting to put it back in the original vehicle. Ohio sells a suction cup mount for an additional $5. Ohio EZ PASS is also slow speed, with an arm that comes down between cars if there is enough space between them. Would prefer the faster speed pass with the green light to let you know that your pass was read.
 
I have one on my wife's Lincoln LS windshield, and a second one that I use when needed for my other three cars.

It's been a while, but I seem to remember that when my EZ pass didn't register once, they matched my plate with my account and just billed my credit card, as they would normally do.

Yeah, hoping to save 30 bucks here too, considering I'm a resident and my toll is 86 cents a pass. Their office is about a mile from me.

No green light here and the speed limit is 40 going through. You "hope" your pass was read.
 
When my battery died in my EZ Pass tag, I called in. The person on the phone told me as long as the vehicle's plates are listed on the account, you don't need to have the EZ Pass tag with you.

The above doesn't apply for toll booths that have arms, like the at the NYC MTA Bridges & Tunnels.

That sucks. Our Illinois iPass works pretty well. If you forget to pullout the transponder or if its not working correctly, you don't get a ticket as long as the license plate of said vehicle is on file.

I have one from the PA turnpike and all 3 vehicles are listed with plate numbers. When I went to NH for the meet I forgot the E-Z Pass was in the pick up and drove through toll booths in NJ & NY State with no issues, around home I cross the Route 1 toll bridge every time I go to Philadelphia and just drive through with the E-Z pass and no letters in the mail. Works like a charm!
 
Jersey's pretty much done away with arms at the toll booths.

The Parkway has a combo of high speed overhead sensors (60 mph) and drive through booths (much slower speeds) while the Turnpike registers you when you get on and bills you based upon which exit you get off. (Pretty easy way to tell if you've been speeding.)

Have to admit that compared to the old days of waiting in long lines and hunting for the correct change, or paying a oll taker and waiting for change, the system really works nice.
 
My mom Uses the Heavy duty Velcro tape and puts it's right under the rearview mirror after she passes it she takes it down . And I got 2 notes like that from the car show that way a few mo back :/
 
I first got mine for my GSXR750 about 12 years ago! It has made life so much easier. In fact, I have one mounted in all four of our vehicles now.

My Bad! After a visit to the Toll office, I found out I have 7 more violation letters coming my way! Turns out when my credit card expired and was renewed, I didn't change it on my EZ Pass account and my automatic replenishment ran out. Since the high speed toll near me doesn't have a green light, I had no clue. Thanks to the nice lady at the office, they're all getting dismised and I'll get charged the regular toll charge of .83 cents :)

That's good to hear.

But did they not send you any emails or notices about your credit card expiring?

When my card was about within 6 months, I was receiving letters and emails letting me know.

Ummm, well, my emai address wasn't updated either, I found out. Like I said, my bad! lol
 
Now that you guys all use EZ Pass the line, if there is one, at the toll is short. I don't travel out of State enough to justify the goverment tracking intrusion.
 
NJ Turnpike and GS Parkway don't have toll booth "arms".

You can go through the booths at a slow speed, or drive through at 60 mph on the straightaways that have overhead sensors.

It's fantastic compared to the old days: stop, grope for change, wait for slowpokes, get change from the tolltaker, etc.

But, the downside, when you get on to the NJ Turnpike, you get registered. When you get off, you get registered.

So, if you've been speeding, they know.
