CONGESTION CHARGE
Hi,
Can someone please tell me how you actually pay for the congestion charge? I will be visiting London soon and a friend came back from there and says he got stung with a large fine for not paying the toll (through his car hire company). He said he never encountered any toll-booths or e-tag systems. The exchange rate is bad enough without getting stung with stupid fines. That said, I think it is a great concept! Chris |

CONGESTION CHARGE
a friend came back from there and says he got stung with a large
fine for not paying the toll (through his car hire company). Serves him right for not reading the dozens of warnings (not to mention ignoring what the car hire company said). Why, as a tourist, did he even want to drive through central London in the day? He said he never encountered any toll-booths or e-tag systems. That's because they are aincent technology that requires unneccersary manpower. Of course they catch people on false plates, but blocking the 200 entrances to London would be impractical and add to congestion even more. He did encounter big warning signs saying "Congestion charge 0700-0630" The exchange rate is bad enough without getting stung with stupid fines. That said, I think it is a great concept! The exchange rate is bad for americans because the dollar is crumbling faster than a really crumbly cheesecake. No doubt you'll be invading Iran soon enough as they want to sell oil in euros, resulting in even more dollar devaluation. |

saying : He did encounter big warning signs saying "Congestion charge 0700-0630" I don't think so. If he didn't, then he didn't enter the Kengestion zone... Or he had his eyes closed... |
