Three in a row or three in the lifetime of the card? Because I could see the
latter easily happening. I've forgotten to touch in on the DLR a few times in
my life and got screwed for the max fare. I'd be exceedingly ****ed off if the
card was stopped too.

Assuming that the failure-to-read rate is the same for contactless
credit cards as it is for oyster cards it would have to be three in a
row. My Oyster card generally has at least one failure-to-read (or
possibly failure to communicate back to TfL that it has read) per month.
