It seems evasion of the tolls at the Dartford Crossing has gone up since the toll booths were taken away. No real means by which to extract payment from foreign registered vehicles being just one reason.

Nearly a quarter of a million foreign drivers have evaded the Dartford Crossing automated toll in first four months since booths were scrapped

The figures show that almost as many foreign drivers are evading the toll as British drivers are being chased and fined for doing the same since the traditional cash toll-booths and traditional barriers were scrapped.
