According to news out today, the system of collection will be "manual
post payment"

Quite frankly that sucks. In this era of modern technology that is what
we should be using, not a Noddy system that we could have implemented 20
years ago.

How does it "suck", and how would you do it?

For those people who don't travel through often enough to have a DART tag
(and for those who didn't realise that they don't have enough credit),
having to actively make a phone call, or go online to pay, at some point
after you have driven through, sucks. Why does that need any explanation?

I would make an automated post payment system for registered cars the
default option, that way you wouldn't have to make sure that your
pre-payment card:, a) had enough credit, b) hadn't expired due to lack of
use.

I appreciate that this method won't work for 100% of customers but it will
work for 99%, unlike the options that they have made available.
