I renewed my card already, but then starting thinking why did I waste the $80? If I'm using the same card as last year, how does the person at the launch know if it's good or not? Normally the launch just records your card number and license plate down in a notebook - you're telling me someone from the state collects all the launch notebooks and sees if the cards are legit? Sounds cheaper and easier for the state to have a new pass each year.
