Cool to see some common sense for a change

Well I keep forgetting to pay the Dartford crossing - mainly as I'm on my way to an exciting adventure in the Cali through Europe

So I get a penalty charge notice from them - but it says that if I pay the £2.50 crossing fee the penalty charge will be automatically cancelled I also called the contact centre who confirmed this

Isn't it nice to see a sensible approach to this - of course I immediately paid the £2.50, nice to see that they are looking to penalise people who try to get away with paying rather than those (like me) who just forget

And yes I know I can set up an account, just didn't bother as I use it quite rarely

I also use it rarely - but its worth setting up the account, put £10 in as opening balance, you get a decent discount I think is down to £1.67 per crossing, if the balance gets too low you get a text reminder to top up.

Its probably quite clever of them for £2.50 I would have thought 99% of people cough up straight away.
