ATL question - Toll on GA400 - Sticker question

[johndawg]

For those of you in Atlanta... Where do you put your GA400 toll sticker?

According to the instructions that come with the sticker, you are supposed to put it 2" from the top of the headliner and 3/4" to the right of the review view mirror post.
There is that huge black area behind the rear view mirror and there is no way that the reader will find it back there.

I'm tempted to just place it up there (to the left of the black area) and give it a go. I was wondering if there were any others out there that have overcome this issue.

Thanks...

Anyone in another state face same issue?

Try it. Secure it with some tape first and see how it works. I avoid the tolls, so not 100% sure how this will work...

I would say place it where it makes you happy. Let them tell you they are having a problem reading the card. I had an old card that required a battery. The battery would die within a year. One year I just didn't get a new battery. I noticed I was still being charged. I think maybe they use your license number if they don't read a card. Anyway, within several months, they called me and said they were going to send me the new card, no batteries required.

So, my thought is to play dumb and put it where you like and see if anything is said. Maybe check your statements when you get them, which you should. I get a statement in the form of an email each month.

I personaly don't have a toll card in the Camaro, so the above is my only experience.

good luck

Yeah... Playing dumb works fine until you get that $25 fee for each time you've run thru the darn thing. Then you gotta fight with a government worker that, and let's be honest, could give a rats a$$ about you and your problems.

Thanks for the info... I'm just going to stick it up there and hope of for the best.

I don't remember being charged $25 when I was running through it with no batteries in that old device. They just charged me as if it were working. Granted, I have not read any toll info that they may have provided, though. So, if you've read that, then at least you're informed and aware what might be to come. If they confrunted me about it though, I would just say, "I don't understand, I read the directions and thought I mounted it correctly." kind of thing. I think to only thing that could interfere would be the electronics going to the mirror.

Anyway, again, good luck to ya.
