Autotoll for motorcycles?



ORIGINAL POST
Posted by axptguy38 16 yrs ago
In the table here, there is no entry for motorcycles/scooters. https://www.autotoll.com.hk/autotollclub/ETCFAQs.php#112


Can they not have an autotoll tag? Are they exempt from toll or is it simply cash only?

For safety and convenience I always thought it would be motorcycle riders rather than drivers who could really do with autotoll the most, but I was told the problem is the machine can't 'read' the number plates on bikes so well, which means that until the technology improves riders are going to have to stop and forage around for their cash :(

Auto toll does not work by reading teh number plate, it is based on a tag attached to the vehicle. There is a slight problem is the polarity of the tag when attached to a M/C which gives error reading about 10% of the time which is too much for the autotoll company to accept. They had a trial system for M/C's using the route 3 tunnel a few years ago but thats the last I heard of anything about it. I stopped riding bikes 4 years ago.

I used to put a old bit of inner tube around the brake reserviour and shove the money in there. easy to get at without fiddling about. Some guys put a big metal clip somewhere near the right hand for the same prupose

Autotoll is based on the tag but it also reads number plates. If you change your car and do not inform Autotoll you will receive a letter from them telling you that your tag was used on a non registered vehicle and warning you that you will receive a fine if you do not update your vehicle details within a defined timescale. Got one such letter myself a couple of years back and know another person who got the same.
