So You Snagged an Oklahoma PikePass Sticker: Installation Adventures Await!
Congrats, my friend! You've officially entered the thrilling world of Oklahoma turnpikes. Buckle up (metaphorically, since you'll be zooming through toll booths with ease), but before you hit the road like a toll-busting superhero, there's a tiny task at hand: installing your PikePass sticker.
Don't worry, it's easier than parallel parking a spaceship on Mars (or at least way less stressful). Let's dive into this sticker situation together and get you cruising those turnpikes in no time.
The Great Windshield Prep: A Sticky Situation (But Not Really)
- Find Your Inner Clean Freak: Grab some rubbing alcohol (not tequila, although that might make the process more interesting) and a lint-free cloth. We want the area behind your rearview mirror sparkling clean, free of any dirt, grime, or rogue jelly bean remnants.
- Eviction Notice for Old Tags: If you have a previous PikePass sticker or another state's toll tag chilling on your windshield, it's time for them to move on out. Peel them off gently, whispering sweet nothings about tollbooths of yore.
Pro-Tip: If there's any sticky residue left behind, a little more rubbing alcohol should do the trick.
Unveiling the Sticker: Behold, the Sticky Savior!
Now comes the moment of truth! With a flourish (or maybe just a regular hand movement), peel the backing off your PikePass sticker. Try to avoid getting fingerprints on the sticky bits - we want optimal tolling functionality here.
The Placement Game: Where Does This Sticky Friend Go?
This is where things get interesting. Imagine your PikePass sticker as the ultimate tollbooth VIP pass. It needs a prime location for the toll readers to swoon over. Here are the golden rules:
- The Royal Rearview Mirror: The classic spot is directly behind your rearview mirror, at least 2 inches away from any metal surfaces (including the mirror mount itself). This ensures a clear line of sight for the toll readers.
- For the Vertically Challenged Windshields: If your car has a super slanted windshield (think Jeeps or trucks), consider placing the sticker a bit lower for optimal tolling efficiency.
Just remember: Avoid sticking your PikePass buddy anywhere near sun visors, tinted areas, or other toll-reading blockers.
The Final Press: Sealing the Deal
Once you've found the perfect spot, firmly press the sticker onto your windshield. Channel your inner Michelangelo and give it a good, smooth press to ensure a secure bond.
And there you have it! You've successfully installed your PikePass sticker. Now, go forth and conquer those Oklahoma turnpikes, my friend. May your tolls be swift and your travels be smooth.
