Hopefully our license plates got read. We will see.

If the EZPass hadn’t registered when you were getting *off* the Turnpike, then that would be one thing. But the trailer in front of you setting off your EZPass is irrelevant. If you got on the turnpike at the same spot as the trailer, it doesn’t matter where the trailer got off, because the EZPass sensor would read your pass when you got off the turnpike at your spot. So you’d be charged for the amount you actually used.

I had an issue with the EZPass in which I had mine since 1997 or so, and the battery was starting to get weak. It said “No Tag Read” when I got on. I exited the turnpike in an EZPass lane, then called them the next day. They said to monitor my bill and call them when the errant charge appeared. Lo-and-behold, there was no errant bill, since the tag is tied to your license plate, and if your plate is in the system, and the tag is read at some point, they have safety measures that put two-and-two together.
