And as with the above article....anyone falsely accused and harassed should be entitled to compensation due to their sheer incompetence....and if it's found to be deliberate, criminal charges should be brought against those issuing the tolls.
They do. They send photos. My daughter borrowed my company car, got lost going to Lakeside and ended up going over the bridge, doing a u-turn and back again under the tunnel. Someone told her that if you come straight back within a certain time they don't charge (good joke) so next thing I know I'm being chased by my firm to sort it out and pay any fines.
Contacted the toll people, gave them the reference and they said there would be no fine to pay (first time offence?). All in all, very happy with their customer service. As for the principles of paying a toll on something already paid for...that's a different matter.
