Going thru tolls on a motorcycle?

Question

So if you are going thru some toll like an e-pass that doesn't require you to stop, do some of you have a trick to cover up or sorta slide ur license plate (or something like that to make it out of view.)

Yesterday i saw some lunatic on his cbr sportsbike actually stretch one of his legs back behind his bike covering his license plate with his foot as he went thru the toll.

Now If you ask me that sounds a bit ludicrous for a 50 cent toll. But can anyone tell me if maybe theres some easier way i havent thought about ;P

Answer 1

The electronic signal passes through an auto's windshield easily, but much like traffic lights are not very motorcycle friendly.  If you do not want to pay for somebody else's tolls plus $20 for a replacement e-pass then the safest location is mounted under your seat.  But at least once a week the signal will miss and send out a half a dozen fines home every month which takes hours to resolve.  If you ever had your windshield mount slip behind the dashboard then you know what I am talking about.  Many tolls offer free or discounted tolls to HOV including motorcycles having an electronic pass.  This brilliantly genius CBR obviously figured out how to avoid the hassles that come with being a law-abiding motorcyclist and it only takes him seconds to do.

put yor tag facing down on you undertail or mount as far forward as you can under the rear fender

Answer 3

I don't like trolls either

when I ride my bike sometimes I have to ride thru a bunch of trolls, these trolls mostly ride Harley's and they shout obscenities and call my bike a rice burner

just ride past the trolls and ignore them

Answer 4

Most of the photo systems take your pic well AFTER you have run through the booth and many take several pics in rapid succession, pretty much guaranteeing that you'll be caught.  Generally if the tag can be read from the driver's seat of a vehicle behind you, the cams will have no problem at all catching the tag number.  (And if it can't be read from a following car, Johnny Po Po will be pulling you over pretty often anyway.)  

Then of course, there are cops who sit on the far side of the booth looking for toll evaders.  It's easy pickings for them; I've got a buddy in the OK Highway Patrol that writes dozens of those every shift.

Why not just get the electronic tag?  Most turnpike authorities offer a discount so there's really no good reason to not have one if you ride on toll roads frequently.
