EZ Pass in Jersey

[sccrmommy]

I have been driving to and from NY to visit for the past 10 years I have lived here. Not once have I "missed" paying an EZ pass toll. Yesterday I get a violation notice in the mail for $25.35 (the toll plus the fee) saying I didn't pay a toll on my trip 6/27. My question is, can I protest that? I paid each and every toll. I pulled up to the the lane, dropped my money in,waited for the light to turn green saying THANK YOU, and drove off, but sure enough there's a nice big picture of my car classifying me as a VIOLATOR. Any suggestions?

Probably happened because you used cash in an ez-toll lane. Either the operator or system got confused. I try to stay cash lane to cash lane and ez to ez.

You can try to contest it, but unless you have a receipt from the toll gate, I'll bet you still have to pay.

Why were you paying a toll in an EZ Pass lane? EZ Pass lanes are for cars with the EZ pass, right? We got stuck in an EZ Pass lane in Jersey and there was not a place to pay the toll. We got to the next toll, told the toll both operator what happened. We paid both tolls and he gave us a receipt to mail in when the ticket came in the mail.

Got one on the Garden State parkway last year for a .35 cent toll. I know I paid and I didn't hear any horns that go off when you don't. How are you gonna dispute it? I just paid it figuring it would coast me more in aggravation to fight it. Sometimes automated systems just suck!

I wasn't in an EZ pass lane. I was in a normal lane, threw my money in, watched the light turn green and left. I'm annoyed since I know I paid it!

Call them up and ask for a trial date.
