I know the new I-520 toll system tickets out of state plates and forwards the fine to a collection agency, but it would be interesting to see what happens in the case of an in-state driver who moves and changes his own driver's license between the time of the picture and when the notice is sent out (can no longer get penalties based on the WA State driver's license). The post office should forward the notice but if you ignore it then what?

I was reading about the license plate obscuration covers and
their sometimes-ability to spoil the photo. In the case of the high-mounted I-520 cameras, the overhead-type diffraction grating type cover does sometimes work, but you are guaranteed the State Patrol will pull you over sometime because they are so easy to spot (the rectangle outline in the cover).

RE: I520 bridge.

I was in Seattle visiting the family between Christmas and New Years and considered trying it. I was driving a rental car with Illinois (?!) plates. I didn’t because you don’t want to mess with that stuff in a rental car. The company simply pays the fine and charges you. It’s an unbelievable hassle to do anything about it.

I need to check the WSDOT traffic maps. I can only assume I-90 is now a quagmire.

In my case the car had washington plates and I had a washington license. Then we changed the plates to Kentucky and went back to “that other state” and flew through the toll roads again. A month later we changed our drivers licenses to Kentucky. This state REALLY ties your car to you personally. The tabs expire on the month of my birth.
