~TITG~ Saves RM1!!!
I recently noticed that there is big flaw in the SmartTag tollgates along the Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong (LDP). This loophole actually allows anyone to skimp on paying the RM1 thus allowing yourself to indulge in an extra teh tarik or teh ais courtesy of SPRINT Sdn Bhd.
So, here's for all you cheapos out there who are interested to save RM1:-
1) Drive slowly towards any SmartTag tollgate along the LDP. Chances are another Malaysian driver will get pissed off at you and start tail-gating.
2) If you do possess a SmartTag, hide it in your glove compartment or under your seat so that the SmartTag sensor will be unable to read it.
3) There is a gap between the sensor area and the tollgate barrier. You will want to drive past the sensor area and come to a complete stop just before the tollgate barrier.
4) The idea is to use the tail-gating car's SmartTag to trigger the tollgate barrier. When you see the barrier going up, immediately speed off with a smirk on your face.
5) As for the tail-gating car, if the tail-gating driver is quick enough, driving through before the barrier comes down again will not be problem.
6) However, if not, never fear as the tail-gating driver will not be charged twice as a complaint to the tollgate attendants will raise the barrier again for the driver to pass through.
The only ones hurt in this escapade would be the loss of revenue by SPRINT, the delay caused to the tail-gating driver and of course the massive traffic backlog incurred at the SmartTag tollgate.
