It's Probably Cheaper And Easier To Just Pay The Toll, Come To Think Of It
-
The Achilles heel of those toll transponders you stick in the windshield, the ones that let you fly past the tolls instead of paying each time, is that if you don't pay, they have to rely on cameras that take a picture of your license plate as you go by. And that's a problem because drivers will do anything to cover up the plates as they go by. They go so far as to have someone hang out of the trunk and block the plates with their hands. Motorcyclists routinely cover the plates. The solution is... well, the only solutions I can think of involve invasion of privacy with tracking devices in all cars. Or they can drop the tolls. I'd do the latter. (South Florida Sun-Sentinel; Thanks to Jeff Katz at WXKS (Talk 1200)/Boston for the link)
