“Once they’ve accomplished that, and everyone has EZPass...”
In Montgomery County, MD they have just opened the Inter-County Connector, which will be an EZPass toll road. Mr. A and I have no experience with this kind of thing, so I am hoping someone can answer a couple questions.
Suppose I was a daily commuter on the ICC, but I was disinclined to purchase an EZPass. Would the state then take a picture of my license plate, twice a day as I commuted to and fro, and then send me two bills? Even if they saved up my bills and mailed them out on a weekly basis, wouldn’t that be cost-prohibitive in terms of administration, accounting and postage? Is there some way the state can compel you to use the EZPass, perhaps holding up your license renewal if they determine you are a regular ICC user who won’t buy the pass?
Just wondering what would happen! I suppose I could Google it and get the state’s official policy, but I was wondering what could occur in reality and I thought if anyone knew, it would be FREEPers.
Mr. A says you can’t fight the power but I say that maybe you can poke it with a stick a little bit...
I imagine this ICC would still have toll booths, allowing you to pay cash, if you wish. I have EZ Pass, and it’s great. You zip right through, no lines, and they charge your credit card for every toll.
If they would start tracking me, or sending me speeding tickets by mail, I would get rid of the EZ Pass.
