This post has been merged from a topic called 'dartford crossing ' by Old Chap Quote We are goin up! at 18 Feb 2015 10.23am I thought you had to set up an account now that automatically tops up by £10 when you go below £10? I just did that and assumed no more problems and it was cheaper. Haven't been through it in a few weeks, has this changed? Or does the system simply not work? You can do that, or you can pay as you go - pretty confusing for a rare user like me, I almost forgot, as I had assumed that the barrier lifting automatically just meant there was an issue that day and I had got a freebie (until someone pointed out I was being a bl00dy idiot). So you can pre-pay or PAYG (without an account)

This post has been merged from a topic called 'dartford crossing ' by Old Chap Quote TUX at 17 Feb 2015 7.52pm I've never had a problem at Dartford tbh but last year I received a letter (inc a pic) of me 'parked(?)' the wrong side of a red light at around 6am in London (who does that!). The fact that I'd moved forward to let an ambulance go by was irrelevant because as they say, the camera never lies cough cough. I asked for the CCTV footage and was told that they couldn't send it to me (how strange in a world of tech?) but I'm more than welcome to view it if I went along to their offices. Being self-employed it was pointless fighting it as it would have cost me more money so I paid the 60quid. The moral of the story is they are cunds and will get away with anything if they can. You have proof on your side and will be fine. But that doesn't take into account the inconvenience. Was this from TfL? As for the footage if they said they cant send you the footage, although a fee would be included, they were wrong. If you took this further they would need the CCTV to prove it to the adjudicator. Did you pay and how long ago was it?

This post has been merged from a topic called 'dartford crossing ' by Old Chap I thought they were going to stop charging for the tunnel/bridge once it had paid for itself... Regarding that fine for letting an ambulance through, I'd have told them to fcuk off and die and we could all watch the cctv together in court.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'dartford crossing ' by Old Chap Any time you appeal a penalty charge, the first reply will always be the standard "we've looked at the circumstances, blah blah blah, you're still wrong and have to pay". You almost always have to write to them twice before they will actually look in to why you have appealed it, and whether or not you're right. Optimistic as ever

That's fcking outrageous. £20 to do one journey, what thieving c*nts The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.
