I haven't had trouble with Fastrak before. If your license plate/car is registered, you can drive through without the transponder. However, I usually hold it up to the window or leave it on the dash when I pass through.

just some things Ive been thinking about and wondering if anybody knew the answer to.
1) all the lanes are marked Cash/FasTrak. One day, I couldnt get into the dedicated FasTrak lanes so I just went into a cash lane. Well when I got to the booth, I waved my transponder to the lady and she said I had to pay cash...why the heck are the lanes marked cash/fastrak then?
2) Before the tolls, you have those overhead signs telling you which lanes are Fastrak and which are cash. Well sometimes the lettering lights up brighter and then goes back to normal. Each one of them does this, but I dont see a dicernable pattern. Anybody know why they do that? Perhaps it tells you which lane is open?

2) They do that to grab your attention. All the toll plazas in the bay area do it. There is no specific cycle or pattern it follows, it's random.

You can do that, but if CHP is monitoring the FasTrak lanes and they don't see a transponder mounted to your windshield, they will pull you over and can cite you for toll evasion. Even though you have your car registered on your account, you are required to have that toll tag in plain view.
