The E-ZPass makes driving along the Dulles Toll Road and other pay-per-use roads a bit smoother. Instead of stopping to pay, the device, which is attached to your car, subtracts money from your account when you pass a toll. "I really enjoy the E-ZPass. It's quite useful," said one happy customer. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0708/532662.html"><DIV>
But the number to call to replace an old Smart Tag with a new, standardized E-ZPass is causing a bit of concern. "Kinda embarrassing." </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0708/532662.html"><DIV>
Everywhere you look, on VDOT signs along the Dulles Toll Road, in VDOT literature and even on VDOT's website, Smart Tag is spelled with two "T's" not one. But the customer service number to deal with E-ZPass issues only has one "T" 1-877-SMARTAG. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0708/532662.html">If you dial 1-877-SMART-TAG, you'll get a recording that directs you to a phone sex line.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CCFC1D2C-AF83-4298-AC09-3146B338E38B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
