PA EZ-Pass Screwup?
 

So today I was traveling using google maps and it took me on US-1 and accidentally through and EZ pass/ticket lane to enter the turnpike but didn't take a ticket. I exited at a cash lane where the lady gave me a certificate of passage ($40) to pay online for not having funds and entering without ticket. I paid it online just 20 minutes after my screw up. So here's the question, because I entered through ezpass but exited through the cash lane, will I still get a violation in the mail from the device that photographs license plates? Or will it differentiate that I exited through the cash lane? Everything online seems to only talk about it being a violation after exiting the turnpike through an ezpass lane not entering through one and exiting through cash with a certificate of passage.

I don't know the answer to your question but in my many interactions with the people at PA EZ Pass, they are pretty forgiving. My wife and I share one transponder so when I forget it on my daily turnpike commute I just call them up and they wipe away the violation and charge it to our account. If they do send you a violation then give them a call with your violation in hand along and how you paid online and I am sure they would wipe it away no problem.
I would recommend just getting an EZ Pass though. The old wives tail about getting a speeding ticket bc of your EZ pass is a hoax. If it were true then I would know.

Yea, I've been meaning too, my situation is so unusual, but if it is the case I do receive a violation I'm keeping the receipt and the online payment receipt online in my inbox :lol:

You should get something through the mail from ezpass that you need to pay for going through it without it ..happened to a buddy of mines

like seant2h said they're super understanding, just give them a call after you get the letter in the mail and if you're not a repeat offender they usually don't care. EZ pass is a nice thing to have and not think about though.

So turns out because I paid the $40 online I won't receive any sort of violation! http://i.imgur.com/UOkuT2W.png

Because I went through the cash only lane and got the Certificate of passage thing and paid it online no issues for me!!! Also turns out I could've just used the ez pass from my other car and used that number to appeal if I had gotten a violation
