      Cheaper then toll FEES? Maybe, until he has to retain a lawyer because he's been found committing fraud and charged with fraud 🙄 even possibly losing his license which is a privilege not a right. That old saying is true crime doesn't pay. He's better off staying law abiding.

    As a Japanese with some infosec background, I was surprised at the fact that identification for toll fees in Canada is based on license plates…
    They are easy to hide or tamper, so it’s a design-level security flaw.
    In Japan, you need a designated car/payer identification device (called ETC) to enter toll roads without entry tickets, so few criminals try to enter toll roads without paying fees.

    • @soaringvulture
      @soaringvulture Před rokem +3

      In California, we have a device called Fastrack which can be set to the number of passengers in the car since the tolls vary with the passenger count. If they don't get a signal from the Fastrack there are license plate readers. I guess if you don't have a license plate the Highway Patrol goes after you.

    • @HariSeldon913
      @HariSeldon913 Před rokem +5

      Most of the midwestern states have a device mounted inside the windshield that emits a signal for the tolls. Most of the toll roads in Illinois have open tolling which means that the device is read as you drive through a point without stopping and if it detects a car going through without a signal it photographs the plate and puts it in the system. If someone doesn't have a device, they can go online to pay within a grace period.

      If you do not have a transponder you pay to enter the highway and exit the highway ( 3.95 each time ) and .49 cents a km , this particular driver was able to buy his Porsche because he was skipping out on all the fees by covering his license plate, and not having a transponder

I knew they were almost bare, and had made an appointment at services Ontario to replace them. Of course I was informed by an officer that driving around with it was not allowed, but he let me go with a warning and a promise to replace them.

      The alternative would be a ticket for a vehicle with no plate at all (not just obscured)... and possibly getting the vehicle impounded. Showing the officer the plate cover was probably the driver's way to say "see - I really do have a plate", and to explain how he "accidentally" had it covered. And it worked - the tickets he got cost less than an oil change for that car, so the driver got away with it and will not remove the cover.

    In Alberta, the police ignore these violations, as well as intentionally distorted license plates, tinted windows and distracted driving. I lived in London, UK and the police have no mercy when it comes to these types of motor vehicles violations. The police always want more funding, but as I see it, they could easily add millions to their funding shortfall if they actually enforced and ticketed individuals who are the problem, especially distracted drivers with a $450.00 fine and 3 demerits, which their insurance rates would increase and not mine.

      The easiest way to get out of most traffic tickets. Dispute it, and take it to court. 9 times out of 10 the issuing officer won't show up, and the judge will through it out. Meaning the ticket was basically never written. No fine, no demerrit points, no increase in insurance.

      What does this have to do with anything? I was trying to reach you about your extended warranty...

      You’re wrong! I live in Alberta and I’ve been busted for having a plate cover that distorts the image for photo radar. It was a $150 fine and they took my cover. You used to be able to buy them for $60 at JB Automotives in Edmonton. Lol. I’ve also been stopped twice for tinted side windows in the front seats. Was fined once and the other time I was given the option to peel off the tint or take a fine.

      Maybe for some, we moved to Alberta and have been pulled over for tinted windows and having a car that is too loud several times in the last year. I have seen many others with tinted windows and much louder cars. So I’m not sure what it is.

      @@andyfunke9484 You still have to go to court. Do that once a month, and you'll find it might be cheaper to just stop the bad behavior even if it costs you no direct money to the state.

    *Crossing the toll bridge with my buddy I tailgated a semi and told my buddy to stay on my bumper as we passed the camera bar*
    I never got a toll ticket in the mail.
    But this seems safer and easier. I would also recommend a full badge delete to further their confusion upon tape review.
