What is our car rego. for - thought that was supposed to cover costs of roading? In NZ the only toll road (when I was last there, a squillion years ago) was over the Auckland Harbour Bridge. When the bridge was paid for, the tolls were removed (free passage from thereonin). Can't see that EVER happening here in Oz. Tolls in Aussie are a rip.

Easy enough to remove their device and stick mine on with blue-tack. But theirs has to still be in the car, at least initially. How do I make sure I don't get charged twice? Is it enough to put their zapper in the glove box or does it need to be wrapped in aluminum foil, or put in a tin box/lead coffin or what?

We recently had such a hectic time in Melbourne, and isp failure, so didn't pay in time - would be great not to have to worry about it. I suppose it's wishful thinking that there is one system which covers all toll roads? We travel from SA to mostly Melbourne, but also Sydney and Brisbane.

Just found an e-tag bracket that uses a suction cap instead of permanent adhesive tape to mount your e-tag to your windscreen. I take my tag down to Melbourne and use it in hire cars, and having the removable bracket avoids toll notices getting sent to the hire car company if my tag doesn't go off. Plus you don't have to spoil the look of your car by having a permanent bracket stuck to your windscreen. Website is www.unibrac.com if anyone is interested :) Hi fellow tag users!
