You might consider getting a Sunpass. I use it for taking the Veteran's Tollway down to Tampa and back north.

Have you also noticed the facial recognition cameras at the booths, now unmanned, that have been in place for the past few years? They have been reading/recording your plates in Florida for over ten years, I guess they figured they might as well cut out the middle man, the toll collector and just bill you directly. Not sure how they are still charging by axle accurately with this latest system, I know for fact they are not, but I am not going to say anymore on that topic. Also note, the toll areas are also speed reduced sometimes enforced speed traps, that likely will soon be automatic also.

jaySEAsee ... me thimks what we have to do is fabricate a license plate flipped like in the James Bond movies so when we go through the toll area it shows the plate of that from north of coders number ... THEN he is billed But WHAT IS WITH almost TWO TIMES cash rates ? If they had published that I would have turned around !! And that SUNPASS?.... I don’t use it that much but the SKYWAY BRIDGE is a pretty view !!

I was thinking more like a remote control flipper switch mounted on the steering wheel, to lower the tag, to expose my gas tank filler on my early 60's Mopars for the young attendants at the full service pumps.
