[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I pretty regularly drive on the 66 toll lanes outside the Beltway. If I have 3 people in the car, we qualify for a toll-free ride. I always, always get an alert from EZpass that I didn't have enough people for toll-free. Sometimes it's a warning, and sometimes it's a charge that I have to challenge.

[b]I know it's an automated detection system, not a human,[/b] but -- my kid in the back seat is 5 feet tall, plus there's often someone in the other back seat, and two adults up front. I drive a compact SUV and my windows are not tinted. It really seems like any working system would see us! Are other drivers waving arms or something when they enter the lanes?

What are you people talking about?  1) You need to have the Flex Transponder, 2) It is not an automated system, you the human have to manually move the switch on the transponder?

[b]From the EZ Pass Website:[/b]
"When you have the required number of people in your vehicle for that roadway, you can simply s[u]lide the switch to the right and the Flex transponder will display "HOV ON." Do this before entering the roadway and you can ride the designated Express Lanes at a discounted toll rate. For those riding with fewer than the required number of people in the vehicle, just slide the switch all the way to the left, covering the words "HOV ON," and travel the designated Express Lanes at the posted toll rate[/u]. E-ZPass Flex also works like a standard E-ZPass on all other toll roads wherever E-ZPass is accepted regardless of the position of the switch."
