Let’s recap, friend. The actual penalty is £70. Pay it quickly? £35. Ignore it? £200+ and a potential court date. The cost of the crossing itself? Peanuts. The cost of forgetting? A headache with a side of regret.
Honestly, it’s cheaper to pay the toll on time than to buy a decent latte these days. So just do it. You’ve got better things to stress about—like why the M25 is always, always traffic-jammed near that bridge. But that’s a rant for another coffee.
Now, go check your bank account. Did you cross last week? Maybe you didn’t pay. Maybe you did. But wouldn’t it be hilarious—and by hilarious I mean terrifying—if you forgot? Yeah. Go check. I’ll wait.
