For example, I bought a second Telepass holder for a second car, because a receiver can normally be used for 2 vehicles. Took only 1 minute then the yellow plastic bracket was already glued to the windshield.

A quick solution, otherwise I would have had to order the bracket online.

When you exit the Italian motorway you will reach the toll gate - the so-called "casello".

If you have a Telepass receiver then you can take the yellow lane "TELEPASS" (reservated TELEPASS track) or a lane with the symbol "T".

When you drive through the toll gate you will hear a high tone from the receiver that confirms the successful payment.

The traffic light gets green, the barrier opens and you can already speed up again.
