Is a photo (two in fact) not solid evidence? Are you suggesting they randomly send fines to car owners who have never been near the bridge?

It's not a matter of being detected. Rightly or wrongly, if you use the Dartford crossing you should pay. The fees are declared and by crossing you have contracted to pay the fee. It is not an issue of only paying if you 'get caught'.

We all sometimes 'get away' without paying for something or escape a fine. Doesn't make it right? How many of you would walk out of a restaurant after a meal without paying if you could get away with it?


As I said, the letter refers to a fine but they were good about it and all I had to pay was the £2.50 (which I never got back from my daughter !!)
