That's the system working the way it is intended to... the way you *usually* want it to.

When our device has not worked correctly (dead battery I think) and we drove through a toll lane we did not get penalized for not paying the toll. Instead, the system looked up our plate to see if we had a registered account. Finding that we did, it billed the account just as if the device had worked. That's the way we wanted it to work to avoid any penalty.

If you register a rental plate to your account but neglect to unregister the plate when you return the car, the system still works the same way. The next time the car is driven through a toll lane it will look up the plate, find your account, and bill that account. The system doesn't know that you no longer own that car until you tell it.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
