Default

If your license plate is in their system properly that's not supposed to happen. Take a look on-line

Default the photo in the violation is clearly my car, and clearly my license plate

that is registered to my iPass account.

either way, I called this morning. I guess when I updated my CC with them they never set to auto-renew (I hate auto-renew, btw) and it was in the "revoked" status because I was $5 in the hole for over 30 days.

no idea how this correlates with two violations over 1 to 2 years old, though.

but all violation dropped and I was charged $1.30 for "violated" tolls, $5.00 to break even and $40 to replenish.

Default most likely just didn't register

Default Doh! Yea, I've never had a violation mailed to me, and my wife's office is the car

Sometimes she drives 300 miles a day, and we have tolls coming in on our ipass like crazy. I've never had a problem or violation like some people talked about.

Hey, how did the pic like that they mailed you? Could you tell it was you driving? I've gone thru the I-355 one at over 100mph before.... I wonder how that pic would look? ;-D

Default 2nd. I called in on this and the rep said I was "following too close to the car in front"

As long as you have a valid one registered, you should be fine.

Default came out to $1.30 after the phone call.

the pic looks much better in person... I knew it was my car in a second.

Default I used to have the original transponder that looked like a radar detector on your dash

That was the first unit that was available. They required me to trade it in on the large unit with the display (like the one slowagen) posted. I actually perfer the current units because of the small size, and I was always having problems with that display type transponder. It is nice to have the beep in the car though when you go thru (just for peace of mind).
