sirhc Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Last year on the way they charged me £4, £2 for the Land Rover and £2 for the trailer. They charge the MoD £1, I was lucky on the way back that the guy on the desk thought it was still an army vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They charge the MoD £1, I was lucky on the way back that the guy on the desk thought it was still an army vehicle They get away with charging the MoD now??? Bl**dy hell!!! Whats the world coming to these days? We used to carry Toll Warrants (any one else remember these) that basically said - paraphrased as I can't recall the exact wording now - "The vehicle and it's crew were on Crown service and HM The Queen did not recognize the right of private individuals to levy toll charges against her personnel operating within her realm. However as a grace and favour the appropriate toll charges could be could be claimed back on presentation of the warrant." Two or three times at Dartford we drove through without paying and without presenting the warrant as we had not been issued them. Every time a Police officer was called and every time he told the tunnel staff what we said was true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain:shocked: I doubt it Lee, just the same as the 'over 3.5tonne' Dodge. It might seem clever to some people to bend the rules or in this case as I suggested previously but this sort of thing is just what officialdom needs in order to revoke the concessions that we get at present, I would also have thought that in the case of an accident the insurance would be invalid. As far as I am concerned the sooner plod catches up with these people the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratty Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 £1.80 to drive the Spartan over last year, but it was well worth the money to see the look of horror on some peoples faces:-D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Lee, Thats interesting, the guy who charged me more on the way down said it would be cheaper if it were an in service vehicle, the guy on the way back charged the cheaper rate. It sounds like I need that special bit of paper! Chris They are exempt... we followed a Land Rover through the other week, driver handed over a bit of paper & he went through for free:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Try driving double decker buses over the bridge in high winds! At one time you could get a guided tour of the place. Might be worth asking if anyone is intrested. The view from the top of the towers is *********! Stunning! I've been charged various prices over the years with Land Rovers especially LWB. Easier now with the auto toll, just bowl up and chuck the quid in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
