Beware Dart fee

Travelling to London on holiday recently, we happened to drive over the M25 Dartford Crossing, where road signs mentioned a crossing fee but gave no indication whatsoever of how much and how to pay.

We’d intended to check it out later that day but forgot.

On returning to work a colleague pointed out that I should have paid the charge within 24 hours of crossing otherwise I could be fined.

I duly visited “Dart charge” online and paid £2.50 for my single crossing, thereby avoiding a potential fine of up to £70.

I thought I’d alert fellow readers for awareness.
