EZ-Pass

This was my first look at the new cashless EZ-Pass toll system. Here in New York, every car is supposed to be equipped with an EZ-Pass device to keep track of tolls. We've had ours for years now but, oddly enough, some people still don't have one.

If you don't have the pass, the camera takes a picture of your car and you'll get a bill for the tolls in the mail. Doing it this way, the price of the toll is significantly higher.
