10 guess what I got in the post today.
I am not a frequent user of the Dartford toll system so on the 30th November at 10:01 just 4 hours after the new system came in (I found this out today) when traveling that way all the barriers where up and and was causing a lot of confusion with all the motorists. I continued behind a slightly free flowing line and the barriers where all in the up position with the green light showing and I thought oh a free one way pass as maybe something was broken , We had to pay on the return over the bridge with cash. I know ignorance is not an excuse but I simply didn't know until the fine came through this morning dated November the 30th with a stamp I assume from the office in the top saying 31st December and I have no idea why that is there. Is there a time period in which this fine must be issued ?
Any one else been caught with this today or am I just unlucky not knowing anything about it ?
