La Guerriere Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I have a telepeage thingy in my car. Next week I need to go to the South of France on business and will hire a car at the airport. If I take my telepeage doofer with me and vaguely point it in the right direction, will it work OK ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointing it at the receiver works, but is a pain if you're on your own and have to change down too.Alcazar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Don't disagree, but I'm not sure the hire car company will thank you when you can't get the sticky stuff off the windscreen!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Perhaps you should take some string so that you can lash the doofer to the back of the rear-view mirror? [;-)] Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard-R Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Elastic band on the sun visor works for me when swapping it between our cars. Make sure you keep it out of view when parked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Guerriere Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 Well, that worked just fine. Blimey there's a lot of peages round Lyon way..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyh4 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Or did you mean the 20 odd lanes in each direction on the A6 and A7 - we need them. This time of year 40 minute queues on Sunday afternoons to pay - even with a card. And that's the best reason to have a doofer that I know.

La Guerriere Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 That's why I take my doofer when I travel ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bixy Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Am I the only one to think of this? I've had a doofer for some time now - wouldn't be without it, since most of my journeys are on my own and running round the car at the peage not much fun. But I've often wondered, why don't the motorway companies just give these away, instead of charging for them. Surely it's in their interest to have more automatic barriers, reduce personnel costs, card handling costs, etc. But then again it would throw people out of work - strong unions - mm, maybe not.

BJSLIV Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Now that the autoroute companies have , or are being, privatised they are intending replace people by automats either cards or coin machines.There have already been a number of peage blockades in response!
