I just love EZ Pass. Gliding in to the tollbooth this morning, suddenly I heard a horrible racket. A debadged silver VW sedan decided I wasn't approaching it fast enough and farted its way by me... to stop in the cash only lane. Eventually the BRAAPing got louder and about a half mile later he caught up with me again and kept going.

A few weeks ago a debadged black VW did the same thing, except not as well- he didn't catch up with me until my glide into the second tollbooth 10 miles down the road, and after that one it took him five miles of more open road to catch up again.
