Dart Charge & London Congestion Charge
Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 5:44 pm
Has anybody with an Elan with the original numbers in grill registration used the Dartford Tunnel or Bridge on the M25 recently?
I ask because I have all 3 of my cars registered to use the crossing for automatic payment using the ANPR cameras that are installed now. My modern VW Golf has been across 4 times this month and been picked up correctly each time but my +2 hasn't been charged for using the tunnel yesterday.
I have always assumed that the numbers in grill especially on a +2 would be hard for ANPR cameras to pick up, but have not had the chance to test the theory until now. I have a friend who lives in Thurrock who used his Elan to go into the London congestion charge zone last year, he took a chance on whether his plate would be picked up and didn't pay, nothing came in the post and I believe he has done it a couple more times.
Interested to know if anyone else has been through the tolls and is registered for automatic payment?
Of course my conscience will now be tested
