That is about 20% of the population. So the only people who it won't work for a a) people who want to cheat the system by driving through and not paying b) A small section of the population who really didn't get to hear about it. c) almost everybody. don't be stupid. Why stupid, most people do not use any sort of toll road on a regular basis. And many occasional users of the Dartford Crossing are not going home that day and any internet payment is likely to incur data roaming charges. But even those that don't use it know of its existence and see news items about it Most won't. Even if they do, most will not want to use a toll road somewhere in the country before they change their cars or credit cards. So they won't register to do so then, will they? Where has everyone got this idea from that I am suggesting compulsory registration (the compulsion to use is on the part of the operators, not drivers) Nobody has got that idea. We think you suggested that people 'ought to register, just in case' and that it is stupid to suggest that almost everybody would prefer not to register. |
