I've had EZ PASS pretty much since it's inception & for a while the system was jacked up and I'd get numerous bogus violations-all for the tag not registering.
My question is if anyone has gotten one for excessive speed, I remember being reluctant to get it in the first place cause I was told if the tag goes through one toll booth then through the next one in a time not conducive to driving at legal speeds you'd automatically get a violation. It's never happened and I'm pretty sure I've made it from the Essex tolls to Seaside at Ludicrous speeds

Also how about the speed limit going thru the toll, they say 15mph & strictly enforced however every night I go to work I take the Irvington exit 144 at about 30 to 40 mph (depending how late I am:rolleyes) never got one for that either.

Has anyone here ever received a violation for speeding ?

I got a warning once when I went through at about 30 on the bike. They told me that I would get suspended if I did it again.

Nope, never got a ticket for that and I've had EZPass since it first came out.. I usually do about 30 mph thru the tolls.

15 mph is just way to slow... Remember it used to be 5 mph when it first came out!!:rant

Once I received 3 letters from Ez-pass in the same day.. The first was a warning, next one was a 60 day suspension and the 3rd was for a 120 day suspension...

I fought these and had my Ez-pass back after a week..

Ace;
To answer the first part of your question, I would say no. One time over the summer I went from Belmar exit 98 to exit 145. My speedo practically did not drop under 100mph the entire trip. I was expecting a ticket (due to excessive speed toll booth to toll booth) but never received one. As for going thru a toll over 15mph, the fastest I remember was roughly around 25-30mph, and I didn't get a summons or warning from EZ-pass.

I can't remember where i heard it, but they said they couldn't ticket you for getting to another toll too fast...

but i cant remember why tho...

So this is pretty much a useless post...

Yup. I got one a while back. They even had a picture of my car going through the toll.

was it for speeding or for a tag not registering?
how (if so) did you get out of it?

There's nothing to get out of. It is not a speeding ticket.

violations with the tag:

Tag doesn't work: they take a picture, check the plate for a matching tag. 9 times out of 10 it matches your account correctly and your plate (rather than your tag #) shows up on your statement

You speed through the toll: they give you a warning with the possibility of suspending or expelling your EZPass account.


EZPass has no jurisdiction to issue speeding tickets. If they try it (which they haven't in a long long time), it will be thrown out of court. They are a private organization disassociated from law enforcement.

It was for speeding. If I remember correctly, I think I had to pay a fine for it ($50.00?? Maybe more.). I don't remember exactly how much though. It was a few years back, but they got me. I just paid it after thinking long and hard when it actually happened. They had a pic of my car going through the toll w/ the date and time it happened and how fast I was going. Ever since then I crawl through the tolls when using the EZ-Pass. *shrug*

I once got a warning letter for going too fast thru a toll plaza. If I did it again within a certain time frame, my EZPass was going to get suspended for 60 days.
