A Little Warning That’s Actually Helpful
You have until midnight the day after your journey to pay without a penalty. Miss that window? Suddenly, a £4 charge becomes a £160 fine—ouch. Do not let that happen.
Set a phone reminder right after you drive through, or better yet, pay immediately while the thrill of the tunnel is fresh. Future you will send a high-five back in time.
