- The Secret Agent: Some people like to play hide-and-seek with toll readers. They stick the tag on the dashboard, or even the inside of the windshield. This is for those who enjoy a touch of mystery in their daily commute.
- The Desperate: If all else fails, there's always the glove compartment. It's like putting your keys in the fridge; convenient only in theory.
Tips and Tricks

- Follow the instructions: Every toll tag comes with instructions. Read them. Yes, all of them. It might be boring, but it could save you from toll tag heartbreak.
- Test it out: After you've stuck the tag, take a toll road. If it works, celebrate with a virtual high-five. If it doesn't, start the process all over again.
