States are electronically tracking you and it’s in a database.

Toll road databases have always been tools available to law enforcement to find logbook crimes when they don't have actual police work to do. Not surprising that closed scales running prepass scanners do the same.

Side note, I'm certain most of my prepass red lights are due to having an obliterated plate that's unreadable by a robot. The process to get a new one requires a police report, and who has time for that? I'm running the old one until they finally make me get it replaced. It's basically an aluminum rectangle with specs of green and black paint visible to a camera, and a clearly current registration decal. If you look at it with a human eye, you can still read the stamped numbers, however.

 

Is the rear plate less aweful? Can you switch them around next time you get a new registration sticker?

 

Just got the one on the front. Georgia doesn't issue or require a rear plate on semis.

 

Can you get the DOT to write something up next time you get the red light?

 

Might be time to get your Wife's nail polish out.......!!

 

LOL no.

I'm waiting until they pull me around and point it out so I can say, "it looked ok when I did my pretrip this morning" and see if they laugh or not.

Either way, an inspection with that noted on it ought to suffice for the online-only replacement plate request. Eventually I'll get one.

Might work if she used black nail polish, but she's not that kind of girl. I dressed it up with a sharpie when I put it on the new truck. That lasted a little while, but not as permanent as they make it out to be.

 

On prepasses website I clearly remember seeing it where they said no information is saved and tracked at weigh stations and no data is shared between different weigh stations. This was a few years ago.

 

Prepass may not save it, but there's nothing stopping the state from doing so, or having their own stealth plate readers. In fact, I'd expect it and be surprised if they didn't.

ETA: Georgia dropped the prepass system a couple years ago, and I'd expect this was one of the motivations.

 

My driver got a level 1 today in TN. Does anybody know what's the eScreen inspection?

 

I live here in ky. We are pretty far on the technology at these scales. With that being side I never go across them. Go around every scale in ky. Most aren’t open much but when they are they aren’t playing.
