The first was that almost all drivers loved the way the FasTrak worked. They enjoyed the Convenience of zipping through the tollbooths without stopping and the Safety of not swerving in lanes as they approached the tollbooth while looking around for tokens and loose change. Safety and Convenience what's not to love?
It turns out that the "what's not to love" was the way that little transponders looked in their car's windshield. All this Safety and Convenience was coming at a steep price in some California drivers' opinion. The cost was Vanity in the form of an "Ugly White Spot" or UWS caused by the FasTrak transponder in their car's windshield.
Highway Image realized something had to be done. It actually turns out that some 40% of DRIVERS DO NOT AFFIX THEIR TOLLING TRANSPONDERS to the windshield of their car either for fear of it being stolen or the WAY IT LOOKS in the windshield of their car.
That means that somewhere around 20% of people with FasTrak aren't getting the most from their FasTrak because they don't like the way it looks. They give up some of the Convenience because they are fishing around for their transponder as they approach the tollbooth and they are also giving up some of the Safety for the same reasons. More than half of accidents on tollways occur around tollbooths.
