LOL i signed up about two weeks ago....got 'em in the mail Friday!!!!

 

[imported_Diavolo]

they better be expanding EVERY tollway with this spike in tolls.

Is the tollway going on 88west, (near Northern Illinois) going to be almost $2 then?

 

[horist]

I've had mine for a while... the toll price increase is going to suck though When I go to US41 I'll use Ipass once then pay the rest of the way ... (just a matter of time before someone in power figures out... ooo we can issue tickets by mail now... and make more money to pay for stupid government programs! yay!)


So I make it a habit that if I'm speeding I only use it in 1 plaza ... the moment you use it in 2 plazas... they have the distance between them... and the time it took you... not hard to get average speed...

Is great for rush hour driving though

 

[dsk727]

I have had mine for 1-2 years now... sucks most for out of staters who are just visitng, those toll prices will make them not want to come back and visit

and I do the same thing as horist, only go through one plaza and usualy take the free exit after it to avoid being caught if speeding

I almost never pass 2 tolls, but I might have to soon. Just sucks if you try to hide it and it still goes off.

Uhh huh. :lolsign:

Ive also "heard" on how to "back up" DVDs and xbox games as well.

 

[cacicgtp7]

I've had my IPASS for almost a year now. Saved me a ton of time on the highway driving which is where i am a lot of the time. Sucks for people without them for right now, that toll increase is steep! oh well, i guess we can still be known for our tollways.

 

[GTPHales-Wife]

Hale and I got our last spring and we love it....But we need to get one for my car now.....But that could probably wait until after the first of the year since I don't really go on the expressway very much right now since I am not working.

 

[dole21]

[snapback]64690[/snapback]​

key word... yet

but think about it... first they get alot of people to use IPass... they have all this nifty data stored in a database ... where you were and when and how fast you were going on average between 2 locations...

I'm not big on conspiracy theories or anything... but were I a betting man I'd bet that within 5 years time there will be tickets in the mail for speeding in Illinois and the source will be IPass (they can already use the IPAss records in criminal and civil cases)

Look at all of a sudden the crack down on people going through w/out paying tolls... not paying tolls is illegal and the people should have been fined for getting caught ... but they collected this info for a long time and finally got to sending collection notices...

Just a matter of time before tickets by mail starts... Granted cameras will be setup at intersections in the suburbs first (trend seems to be .. California does something... then chicago does the same, then it starts trickling out into the suburbs) to catch people rolling through red lights and collect additional revenue...

 

[mybluegtp]

I will be getting mine at the end of the year.

 

[sr71_rgl]

Man that sux about the toll hike. I've had my iPASS for almost 2 years now. Talk about a nice convenience and now that it's the cheapest option it's a no brainer.

 

[cpk71]

Yeah just wait till the man starts sending you i pass people tickets in the mail I'm gonna hold out bfor as long as i can The man is just forcing us to conform to his way and thats bullshit just my 2 cents

 

[Kyle]

i was thinkin the same thing as horist.

once they get like 3/4 or more of people on the eway using ipass its just another way for them to make money. where the heck does all this money go anyway? oh yeah things like milenium park and other useless things.

 

[staceyyearsich]

Fuck the toll booth company those money hungry bastards I paid that toll-way 2500bucks and now I gotta do this, I want every damn crack in the road fixed and I also want the dan ryan named after my ass.. This is really retarded I LOVE THE GOVERNMENT..NOT

 

[MrT]

So what do we do if Stacey's ass is backed up? Do we call for a traffic report or call for a laxative?
