Far too high-tech for me, but I think the gadget lets Tom blast along the Illinois tollways and over bridges without having to keep stopping and giving them more money.
You may know that London now has a central "Congestion Charging" Zone where you have to pay £5 to enter for any given day. This is policed by cameras which compare the registration marks of cars entering the zone with those recorded ad having paid.
You can pay on a web site, via a shop or (as I do) via text message. But the word is that the system is not coping with the number of violations and fines (which are high) are not being collected, so the City is out of pocket on the scheme.
Also, there is now much more chance of finding a legal parking space, so the meter wardens are gnashing their teeth, with fewer offenders to book. We all believe they are on commission Schadenfreude.
