Hi blueexpo97.
              I would have thought that all the main autoroute carriage ways would have at least 2 height restricted Fast Tag Lanes, some of which you can pass through at upto 30kmph.

Surely this is the whole point of having a 2m height restricted Fast Tag Lane.

I have yet to come across a Toll Gallery that does not have a height restricted Fast Tag Lane on the far Left of the Gallery, leading of from what we know as the Fast lane.

Yep 7ncj.
        It is not just the Fast TAG lane's either, the VW Golf I drive with RoofBox is 1.97m, and it passed safely under the car park barriers that stated 1.8m.

And I am sure there was a good 4" clearance at the Fast TAG lane, going of the car in front of me.

Of course there is always the chance that a piece of infrastructure beyond the height barrier that will be at the advertised max height, but I very much doubt this would be the case.

I guess there must be some unwritten rules that allow for a 10% error margin, and maybe you can factor that in.

It is of course to always a good idea to be aware of the height of your unit, so I have some stickers on my roofbox to remind me.
