I thought the website said you have to have one transponder per vehicle. Can you really share a single transponder between vehicles? This would be ideal for our situation in which we have 3 cars amongst the 4 adults but neither one of us will use the Toll regularly.
I'm not real clear on whether you can use a single transponder for multiple vehicles with Quick Pass...sure would like to. Yes, the rules say you need one for each vehicle, and I know people with EZPass can skirt around that with no problem. Heck, I've used my in-laws' EZPass on my car a couple of times.
But with NC also having the video tolling, are they also taking photos of your plate if you have a transponder? If so, they can catch you if the plate in the photo isn't registered to the Quick Pass account.

But that would be a huge waste of time and totally negate the reason for the transponders in the first place! In other words, that is probably exactly what they are doing.

Well I assume they take photos of all vehicles, right? Unless the transponder registers soon enough that it prevents the camera from going off.
Even with photos of all vehicles, they wouldn't bother looking at the photos for ones where the transponder registered. Although if they're using optical recognition it would be easy for the computer to match the scanned plate against the ones on record for the transponder. Most will likely match, and there's very little cost in implementing that.
It's when you need to bring a human to verify the scanned plate number that costs go up. Do they do human confirmation on non-transponder vehicle plate reads? They could presumably also do ones flagged by the system for plate not matching transponder record.
I imagine penalty would be low though...probably just a letter saying "Hey, you need a separate transponder for that vehicle."

taking picture is used for check and balance also for vehicle without transponder.
Looks like they aren't making enough money from the tolls. I've seen someone pulled over just about every day for the past couple of weeks. It's easy pickings on that road with the light traffic. I keep my cruise at 70 from 40 to 64. Too easy to go faster.
