Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Telepeage tags

Does anyone have any experience of using the Telepeage tag on a trad? These are now available to us Brits from Sanef : but they suggest that - if you have a heated front screen - the tag must be affixed in the "shaded/mottled (ie non-heated) area behind the rear-view mirror".

We don't have such an area on our screens - nor much room behind the stuck-on mirror

Seems like it might be worth the 16 Euro (or so) fee for the convenience of not having to scrabble around for change, stretch to reach the toll booth/card slot, risk incurring the wrath of the Frogs etc. ... but only if it works!

Any first-hand experience anyone?

I have a couple of these tags & I move them from car to car. On the Mog I don't fix it to the screen, I just keep it in the elasticated door pocket & whip it out when I get to the péage. They are a godsend, particularly in busy periods when you can just whistle past all the poor souls queuing. They really don't have to be stuck to the screen.

We have one on our Aero SS and it works very well, and certainly saves considerable time at the Telepeage's. They supply two stick on windscreen attachments so we do swop it over to our tin-top when we go to France in that.
