I can't even find a place that is willing to do it they keep saying that when the 'wet' the window to apply the tint there is a danger of the water running down behind the dash and damaging the electronics...

I have a guy in our neck of the woods that will. PM me.

Why would you pay tolls on a bike anyways?

just lean back and cover the plate lol. Unless a trooper sees you do that... then it's like a $375 fine

Also, many people have had luck riding right on the white dividing lines and not even having the cameras pick up the plate

 

[Smokinhot]

I've gotten fucked in the past by not having it on the car but had an account. I've got quite a few fines I need to pay still bc of if

 

[Outlaw]

I have every vehicle registered... transponder is only in the GMC, no issues.

Because I am not retarded..

I actually went with a group of bikes to go pick up a new bike for someone. Of course it had to be ridden without a plate. As we were getting on 88 there were 2 troopers standing at the toll booth doing safety checks. I was the last one in line and I had to scramble for change in my pocket and then the trooper says to me "Make sure your buddy flips his plate down". Little did he know there was no plate.

I don't remember the last time I had the transponder in the car. I drive through tolls everyday. They just take the money out of the account.

I haven't seen mine in years. For all I know I left it in a car I sold. No nasty grams. They just get the plate with the camera.

the tolls read the transponder from the steel glovebox of my 68 f250...inside a solid steel dashboard.

throw it in there or your centerconsole and forget about it

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

If transponder doesn't register but your plate is on file, then you get vtoll (full toll amount) instead of ipass rate (1/2)

am-i-wrong?

They are full of shit. I almost NEVER have the thing in one of the cars and never a problem.

They issued me a fine when I didnt register the cobra but I just called them, registerd...back to normal.

Ive been doing this since i got an ipass many moons ago.

I registered 5 cars to my transponder, and had my parants van on it(they are from omaha) for the last year and a half with no problems.
The website lets you register multiple vehicles so they can collect it by the photo.

my point is.. if you don't have transponders in all cars, yes they'll look it up by the plate, but if they have to, they'll charge the cash amount of $1.60 instead of the ipass rate $.80 (for example randall/90 toll)

anyone confirm/deny?

 

[Mook]

Pretty sure that doesn't happen. I refill my ipass very rarely. I'd be filling up way faster if i was getting charged full rate.

 

[Burtonrider10022]

Pretty sure you still get the Ipass discount

 

[EmersonHart13]

You do get the discount.

 

[Eagle]

Yep, I own one transponder. It's in the vehicle I drive the least... my other 3 cars are registered to the same account - I just drive through. No difference in charges, no "infractions."

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

very interesting.. maybe they are selective with the ass raping, if you have a declined cc and it goes to negative balance, they also said you would be charged the cash rate, and eventually start getting the $20 fines

EDIT: looked it up, looks like only the negative balance causes the cash rate, maybe i'll huck this extra ipass in some body of water

What happens if I forget my transponder and accidentally use the I-Pass lanes?

Answer:

If your vehicle is register to the account and your account is in good standing, the toll will automatically be deducted from your account as a Video Toll (Vtoll). Vehicles registered to an I-PASS account cannot pay unpaid tolls online. Please note that excessive Vtolls will result in penalties.

It sounds like the policy may have changed over the years. I know it used to make you pay the cash price every single time. Now it looks like you can get a few violations before you start getting penalized. They don't mention how many times equals 'excessive'.

EDIT: Just noticed their response contains a grammatical error.

See! I knew I had read that on there, I just couldn't find it this morning!

However, like I said in my first post, just because they say it doesn't mean they enforce it

We will test this theory, my buddy Joe is coming to Chicago this weekend so i put him on my ipass account and told him not to pay the tolls. We will see how this works. What is the delay on the vtoll?
