I don't know where you got 20 mph. I drive under the toll archway every single day at 80 mph. It scans my windshield tag and sends me a bill.

Clodfobble finally provided a citation only after being pushed.

Actually, I provided a second and third citation after you accused the first one of being untrustworthy.

Get those simple facts was not difficult. RFID for electronic toll collection is a recent achievement that requires a vehicle to pass through slowly. That information was available at responsible sources such as RFID Times Magazine. Only required was something to make Clodfobble's post credible.

Ah. So first, I must be wrong because my tag has a battery, I just don't know about it. Oh, turns out it really doesn't have a battery.

Then, I must be wrong because the range of the tag is too small for a toll booth to read it as I pass by. Oh, turns out the range is at least 10 meters, maybe as many as 30, and my state's archways are about 15-20 feet over the roadway, well within range.

Now I must be wrong because I didn't mention I have to drive 20 mph through the tollbooth. Can you guess what's coming, tw? Oh, turns out you're still wrong, traffic does not slow for pre-paid TXTag customers. Your "responsible" source is either inaccurate or out-of-date, much like your original technical citation from 2005.
