We have FasTrak for the bridge tolls around here - a 25 mph speed limit is posted. I usually slow to 35 or 40, I often see people going faster than that. I've never been contacted about it nor have I heard of anyone else getting grief about it. I suspect they are wary of discouraging people from using it as plenty of people don't as it is. I don't get it. I often save 5, 10 minutes or more not to mention wear and tear on brakes and clutch.
