Earlier this year I bought a new car and had NJ temp tags. I then proceeded to get numerous toll violations in the mail.. someone had made a fake temp tag with the same #s, so the bill went to me. Hundreds of dollars worth.

It was pretty remarkable, though, how many trips this guy made in and out of staten island and Brooklyn in a relatively short amount of time. 😂

I had a similar situation and got them removed, though EZ Pass doesn't make it easy. Even though the car racking up the violations:

  • Was a different color.
  • Was a pickup instead of an SUV.
  • Was getting fines solely in DC and Baltimore.
  • Drove through a Maryland toll minutes after I drove over the Commodore Berry.

It still took a month of back and forth and for whatever reason, couldn't be removed until I printed all of the emails out and mailed everything to some EZ Pass office.

Commodore Berry is also the name of a legal medical marijuana strain, I get it in vape carts.

Possibly a Uber/Lift driver. They get some level of refunds on tolls and that’s not a bad way to pocket that money via stealing from you.

Passengers double check the plate number before they get in the uber or lyft car. 🤡

People don't do that, but they really should.

It's is kind of a common practice for women at least. It's why you wait on the driver's side of the road, walk around the back and get in passenger side. One of those women safety tips that men don't think of.

Yeah. Most just go for the name. Make sure you have them say the name first.
