Anyone know what the fine is for going through an ezpass lane without a sticker in the state of Virginia. I wasn't paying attention to the toll signs because I was looking at road signs and trying to look at my directions in my hand. Before I knew it I was blowing through the ezpass lane.The toll was only .50 or .75 cents and there was very little traffic in the toll lines. I just made a mistake and I am wandering how much this will cost and If I can appeal any type of fine. Thanks

i can tell you about IL, and assume it works about the same in VA.
when you get stuck in an EZ pass lane, tell them about it at the next toll booth and they give you an envelope to mail in the toll (no fine involved) you put down the date, time of day, location/name of the toll area, make/model/color of vehicle, and license plate number.... since it's too late for you to pick up an envelope at the next toll booth, you can probably call the VA DOT for the address.

I've been caught in traffic in Chicago and not been able to move over and gone through the EZ pass lanes a couple times, and never heard anything.
A buddy of mine from the Milwaukee area went to college at a school in southern Illinois for five years, and told me he never once paid a toll when driving home... just took the EZ pass and rolled on through. I'm not advocating doing that, but I would think one time, you'd be alright.

That's what I got one time when my tag didn't get read when going through. They snapped a photo of the car license plate, identified me as owner and sent me bill. On the form, I gave them the EZ-PASS tag number and they debited my account. No fine.
Thanks for the replies. I'll let you know if any fine comes my way.
Marine, that's exactly were it was, I believe I was leaving 495 and getting on 66 near Dulles. I was heading to the Tom Petty concert in Manassas. What a great show, was in 2nd row center stage, surprised the wife for her birthday.

you should be fine then. I know that coming TOWARDS the 495 beltway the cameras dont work, probly the same on the way out too. they talk about it on the radio all the time on the evening drive show on 105.7fm all the time.

I drive this way to work everyday and people blow past those all the time...I wouldn't sweat it. If you get something in the mail pay it, but I wouldn't be too suprised if you don't receive a thing.
