i was coming back from picking up some wheels off the turnpike, and on my way back coming to the toll booth me and my buddy were talking about girls...probly cant write it without getting this post deleted but it completely distracted me and i accidently went through the ezpass without an ezpass badge or whatever.

anybody know how much this is going to cost me? im actually looking forward to getting my picture in the mail...just not the fee :|

I did that once before I got easy pass. I called the number on the back of the coupon up, explained what happened (i got pushed into easy pass lane) and they let me go with just having to pay the 70 cent toll.

No, it was going to be too much of a pain in the ass, just paid the damn thing and forgot about it.

They all have pictures, dunno about video. They didnt question me. What I told them was the truth regardless though. Call them up and tell htem it was a mistake.

yeah, they don't have to be in plain view to work. If you had an ezpass in the car, it may have worked. Mine usually does.

that doesnt always work. i had mine in my trucks center console and i wasnt paying attention and went through the ez pass (i usually hold it up in the window because it goes back and forth between my car and truck.) and i got the fine in the mail....i think it was like 40 bucks.

If you explain that if you swerved to get in the pay with the traffic and everything it would have been dangerous you just pay the 1.00 toll. You can call them.

I must be getting different ez pass tickets than everyone else. on any of the ones i've ever gotten, there was an option to fight it (the one time i didnt have ez pass) or write in your transponder number and send it back, and you just pay the toll.

I got one like that once....tow truck driver towing my Jeep through the EZ Pass lane, and they mailed me a ticket for the Jeep. I called them up, waited on hold for ages, and didn't pay a dime.

Last i knew you get a $25 fee but for most cases they may just wave it off if you have a good enough excuse.

yeah well i noticed it was an easy pass literally 20 feet before i went through..i couldnt get over to a regular toll booth. ill just say that.

i heard a story of a guy who did this...they sent him a photo of his car with the ticket...he sent a photo of the check back for the ticket...they sent him a photo of handcuffs.

he then paid the ticket.

It is whatever the max charge for your kind of vehicle is + $25. I got hit on the AC expressway a month or so ago when it didn't pick my EZPass up so they sent me a thing in the mail for $28.

I just sent them my EZPass number and they said sorry :D

If it was very recently, goto the dmv and get new plates. there like 6 bucks. they wont know who to give the ticket to. I did that and i got new plates just cause one of mine fell off, and they never sent me a ticket. I dont know if thats the reason, but it seemed to work. I went into ez-pass getting on the turnpike, so when i got off i had to either pay 20 bucks or whatever for not having a ticket or just rip through the ezpass again...so i did the latter

if your parents have it say you had theirs and forgot to show it. Then you just need to pay how ever much the toll is or just call ezpass when you get the ticket.
madness410
03-22-2009, 06:34 PM
eh getting new plates is too much hassle over 25 bucks...plus these are the first plates ive ever driven with so they have sort of a sentimental value lol.

my parents dont have an easy pass..maybe i can say i borrowed a buddies and forgot to put it on and use theirs. ehh idk 25 bucks wont kill me

Just get a check or money order for the amount and send it in explaining that it was a mistake or that you got pushed into that lane. Case closed. If you pay that $25 fine or $80 you're crazy

if you go to a manned tollbooth and tell them you dont have the money on you to pay the toll they give you a form to fill out so you can mail the toll in.
