If you live in the UK and use the Dartford Crossing, remember to pay your toll online

I forgot about it and they nabbed me!😭
They really do have a system which logs every vehicle making the crossing.👎

It's free and easy to open an account with them and they simply take the toll fee off the card you register within 24 hours. No hassle at all.

@AmberL I have done that now lol cause I know it'll happen again. I even wrote not to forget on my sticky notes. There must be so many others like me.🤦

@AmberL Why should anyone need a so-called account just to pay to drive across a bridge? Especially if for a one-off journey, not regular commuting.

How do you pay if you have no Internet link, or simply do not want an "account" with whoever owns the bridgel ?

(Not everyone is "on-line", though large companies now employ gadget-freaks who cannot understand that.)

What's wrong with a simple card-reader at the entrance, if they don't have that already?.

If it were me, very unlikely to use the crossing again, I'd be strongly tempted to find their postal address, and send a cheque to that. If they object what can they do? I will have sent the money they demand so the onus is on them to bank it!
