Thread: Second Etag

I've had no problems around Sydney when the tag has fallen off the windscreen or been left in the other car - as long as the rego number is recorded against a tag it gets billed at the normal rate.

Beware that if you sell a vehicle you need to have that registration number taken off your tag account. (its not part of the normal notice of disposal/change of owner process) You can end up paying the new owner's toll fees and the RTA will not refund these charges to you. One of the RTA operators told me she had seen a bill of $700 on someone's account - tolls incurred by the new owner - the account holder neglected to have the registration number deleted from his account.

Also check your quarterly statement - where the toll fee is set by the height of the vehicle you can end up being overcharged - happened to me with the Disco on the toll plaza at Auburn - only on one particular lane, the others were OK. RTA refunded the overcharged ammount.
