I Pass transponder question
Can I stick the I Pass transponder behind the metalized patch on my 05 Package 4 Prius windshield? The I Pass instructions want the transponder mounted centrally, should I move it to the side away from the metalized zone?
Thanks in advance Robert.

Mine (2004 Prius, EZpass - same thing) is mounted below the rear view mirror bracket and works fine. It doesn't block vision as it is behind the mirror itself.

One thing to keep in mind using IPASS or whatever electronic toll gathering devices, besides collecting your toll it puts on a time stamp on when the toll was collected. Say you pass toll booth 1 at 2pm and passed toll booth 2 at 2:15pm and the distance was 20 miles, hence you were travelling at 80 mph. Can law enforcement in conjunction with the toll authority issue you a speeding ticket based on your IPASS records?

Dan,
New Jersey actually gave out tickets by this mechanism a few years ago. EZpass use quickly went to zero. The governor (since resigned in disgace, but for a different reason) ordered a permanent stop to this misuse of the system and it took two years of PR to get useage back up to normal.

ps: I live in Connecticut; I would be embarassed to live in NJ given its politics (even though my daughter lives there)

I haven't heard of that happening, but I guess anything is possible. Since speeding is a waste of fuel, its probably pointless on this forum to worry about it
But I save a considerable amount of commuting time by using it, since I use a toll road to go to work.
