Blackwall Tunnel penalty

Yeah no doubt it is but to me, if they’re going to accuse you of breaking traffic laws and demanding money, it should be properly checked. Obviously they wouldn’t make as much money out of us if they did but then again, they argue it’s not about raising revenue but keeping traffic flowing so maybe they should.Covered End said:
I would assume these fines are automated if you stop on a box junction.DaveMehmet said:
It certainly is a ball-ache to set up but thankfully once I'd done it, seems to work for me. Like anything related to parking or road use in this country though, it appears to be deliberately set up to catch people out. Motorists are a massive cash cow. My wife got caught in a box junction recently when a tosser in the right hand lane cut across her as she started to move. The video evidence clearly showed she waited until there was space before moving forward and anyone with half a brain cell could see she was in the right but they still sent the penalty notice. She got let off but how many others don't appeal and just pay up?RC_CAFC said:Personally think it’s one of the worst websites/systems ever devised and it’s been deliberately created to make money. I also got charged after setting it up. I did successfully appeal but it’s honestly a disgrace.
I'd be very surprised if they are analysed for validity before being sent.1 -
All these problems with TFL don't surprise me one bit. They don't know their arse from their elbow half the time.2

Just set it up and unless I've done something wrong didn't think it was that bad.SE10Addick said:The website for paying the Blackwall Tunnel is absolutely diabolical.
I work in tech. I've always worked on websites. I've worked on designing and building websites. But even I got stupidly confused when trying to pay the fee.
Without getting political, it's almost like they want you to fail....
Just created a charging account then set up auto pay0 -
Most people are fine if they setup autopay prior to driving through the tunnel. Its eiher setting up autopay after entering the tunnel or actually trying to pay on a site which has no logic where the problems begin.Talal said:

I see. Thankful for this thread as I doubt I'd have set it up before using the tunnel next week otherwise.BalladMan said:

Half the problem they have is recruiting from within, so you have a complete idiot getting a job that their mate (line manager) has advertised on said idiots skill set (or lack of). Couple that with the fact that there are not many who do a 20 hour week, let alone the 35 they are billing, gives you what you presently have.0
