So I got a $166 fine from the Il tollway - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

You would think that if a car is already registered for use of your "pass" that their computers would cross reference plate numbers and be done with it.. But no. They send you a fine/ticket. Brilliant system. Then again, it is a for profit system

Now I have to find my 3-4 year old password/login to add another car for mine

Yeah, it is very important to register your car with their website. I did so the day I bought my BoxS. Takes about 5 minutes.

Fortunately IL tolls do have V-tolling. If you forget your Ipass in another car you can still go through the Ipass lane and you won't get fined. This is as long as your car is registered with your Ipass.

I've done this a few times.

You can always go back to the old non-profit system you know, toll takers!

But they charge you twice as much and you have to exit the tollway to pay in person.

I keep wishing Wisconsin (currently no tolls anywhere), would install a single lane tollbooth on I 94 just across the WI-IL border and make everyone with an IL plate stop and pay a 5 cent toll.

lol, only a 5 cent toll? I would think you cheeseheads would want us FIBs to pay $10 or so to get into your state.

BTW, IL is ugly and WI is beautiful. That's why we come up there so much.

I'm thinking we would only charge cars with IL plates 5 cents to get back into Illinois!!! But the point is it would require you to pull the right into a single lane toll booth with an 80 year old toll taker.

I don't mind the tolls in IL so much, just the long wait to pay them.
