Anyone fancy a moan about the Dartford crossing?

Woke up this morning to a £35 penalty for forgetting to pay the toll charge.

I swear they make it as easy as possible to forget...

I almost preferred when you had to toss coins into a hopper...

End whinging.

American here. How do you pay for the tolls if there's no automated transponder and I assume no actual toll both workers?

Cameras photograph your number plate and start the clock. You have 24 hours to pay online or on app for the crossing.

You can create an account that auto tops up from your bank and auto charges.

Also, fuck Gordon Brown for selling the fucking bridge it should be free now. We have paid for it.

Got it, that sounds pretty convenient though maybe 24 hours is a bit tight. Do you have to create an account per toll or does one account cover a whole region?

You have to pay online within 48 hours and they ANPR you.
