Giving your card basically defeats the purpose of the ETC (just a bit).

My suggestion is for the SLEX operator to just put a sensor that can be reach by the driver. The driver can just tap the card himself (assuming it also has RFID) instead of giving it to another person in the booth. Similar to the SUICA train cards in Tokyo.
+1 on this.

1st Generation E-pass user. Just switched to RFID a couple of weeks back. My 2nd Gen Epass just passed on. My windshield mounted RFID works in 75% of the booths I pass. E-pass has a better hit rate. I don't know how true but, the RFID personnel who installed mine said that E-pass transponders are causing interference to RFID. It is deployed in tandem at the shared booths. Once E-pass units are removed, expect better hit rates. Let's see...no choice but to give it a chance.
