And BTW, I think it was Raytheon Corp that invented/designed the technology for the EZ pass. They had one demand: under no circumstance can the pass be used to issue speeding, traffic or parking tickets. They did not want that dark cloud over their company - so you dont have to worry about getting tickets in the mail because your EZ pass flagged you for speeding.

Like I said before in a round about way.. There are absolutely no toll roads in CT any more since a major accident a number of years back killed many people.
Tolls are stupid and unsafe. There is no doubting how much revenue they have brought in the states they are in, but lost lives can not be replaced with your change.
As far as tolls are concerned and the law, they DO track if you have paid or not. We drove through a toll once and paid and green light was not working and we drove through, and guess what.
We got a ticket sent to our house accusing us of not paying our toll.
Yeah.. we sent that bad boy in marked not guilty. So.. not only did we pay the 2-3 dollars for the toll, but also wasted a few cents for a stamp.
Like I said. Tolls are useless, unless you are in the business of making Ez-Passes of course. Then it's a great use to your bottom line.
