Automotive Convenience Stories to Tell in the Dark

Halloween approaches — how about some freaky E-ZPass Horror Stories to get us in the mood, courtesy the October issue of Car & Travel? For instance, a twisted tale called “Save Me!”:

I recently had my E-ZPass confiscated at the Whitestone Bridge. The agent said that the tag was invalid. When I went to the E-ZPass center in Yonkers I was told that my credit-card information was not up to date. Every other auto-pay account notifies me when the expiration date is approaching. But I received no notice from E-ZPass and was charged a $25 administrative fee to get my tag back. I appealed, but was denied.

Sweet dreams.
