one evening, I was paying more attention to something else......rather than the traffic light. I went through on the tail-end of the yellow light....I saw the FLASH of the red light camera
and started saving for the ticket to come in the mail......never got one. I was on my 2009 Ultra Classic.

I'm doomed to be paying for the baggers. I'm stripped naked including the windshield.

I noticed the same thing on our way out to Ohio this summer. It's been a long time since I've been on a toll road, but those with EZ passes could sail right through the gates. I wondered what would happen if I did, and if a camera would have caught me.

But, being the upstanding citizen I am, I sat in line, and paid the toll.

Not to worry... they can't see your numbers and send you the toll with that tape on your plate.

P.s. to my previous post. We also pulled a trailer. In Mn, we have lifetime trailer registrations with a sticker on the tongue. No way would the camera see that either!

Most of the bridges in the tidewater area of VA have both high and low cameras.

I have an E-ZPass, but had a wrong digit on my plate number in the system. Sensors didn't pick up the transponder, so it took a picture of my plate--got a nice picture of the rear of my bike, looked to be taken from about 2-3 feet off the ground, leaving the E-Zpass lane.

I have an EZ pass on my Ultra, an electronic one, for motorcycles. It is much bigger than the ones on car windshields. I live in Houston Texas and have a terrible time with the toll roads. I know that a picture is taken of every vehicle as it goes under each sensor on the toll road. They then match the plate number to EZ tag number. This is done to keep thieves from making fake EZ tags. The EZ tag and the vehicle have to match or you get a ticket. I found out the hard way. Put EZ tag from motorcycle in my only car that did not have an EZ tag. 6 tolls later tag did not work and ticket was sent in the mail, 6 photos of car with EZ tag that did not match. The problem I have now is the gates (arms) they do not go up for me. Have to honk and get attendant to raise the arm. They only do this after matching plate. Big PIA, works fine on the ones on the road with no gate, they just get mad as they cannot see the plate.
