please can I ask if there is an expert on the Dartford tunnel on the Elite?

Errant son got a charge letter this morning which seemed to be for £70 :mad: so I scanned the letter for him and messaged him.
His car was on camera from last Friday night when he decided to come home on a whim

I did the minimal of research which seemed to say if you paid within 14 days it went down to £35.

a bit later errant son sent me a screen shot of his invoice sheet which only showed a payment of £2.50 which worried me as I though he had just paid the normal charge and not the fine.
but he voice messaged me to say he rung them up and this time he only has to pay the £2.50, next time it will be £35.
He says he will never go this way again anyway and in December he will do the other route he originally used

does this sound correct - that they would drop the fine this time so he only had to pay the normal charge and could he have rung this morning?

he said that he only used the lower level last Friday night whatever that means but I assume there are warning signs about the charge on the approach roads?
up here in the north we don't have anything like this to content with, only the Birmingham toll road as you go south along the M6 but it's very clearly sign posted that you are being taken off the normal M6 and onto the toll bit

I did warn errant son about the unexpected expenses that come up with no warning, the sort of stuff you can never plan for but could potentially wreck your budget he just dismissed this as nonsense - mum was right again.

at least £2.50 is not too bad and another life lesson learnt

I must say the charge and how to pay is very clearly sign posted.
I have never had a fine as have a motability tax disc but mum set up an account and grandchildren know to send her the car reg if they change cars. There could well be times when son has to go that way so I suggest setting up a toll account anyway. You have to put £10 in and can set to replenish funds when needed.

Not sure about the fine but could well be possible he has been let off as first offence especially as car registered up north.
Sure there must be a toll charge forum somewhere.
Sorry I couldn't be more help. Maybe juju will know.

Congrats to Di on her wonderful news.:j:j:j
