Default "Running" the FasTRAK lane on Bay Bridge
So I have no plates on my car and have removed my registration sticker off my window... I do NOT have FasTRAK and have run the FasTRAK lane on the Bay Bridge about 10 times now. I know a couple of other people who do this as well and since my car cannot be ID'd, I figure it might be kind of hard for them to ticket me for not paying the toll.

Does anyone else do this , and/or has anyone heard of people getting caught doing this? Thanks!

I've seen people do this (no rear plates), but I don't since I have a FasTrak account. Don't get caught [in th act], b/c I can imagine that the fines for such can be fairly hefty...

yeah, the ticket that you will eventually get if you keep doing that will not be worth the few bucks you saved

Come on! Do you really need mod money that bad? You're not really going to save anything if you get caught.

The true art is to try having your plates on and see if you can go fast enough so they won't be able to take a picture of your plates.
