We are in campervan in Portugal and yesterday joined a motorway and took the ticketless lane by mistake. Very easy to do when you arrive in a rush, traffic behind you and Tom Tom is saying keep left. So we came off the next exit to try and speak to someone only to find it was all automated. Got on the intercom at the barrier and helpful guy explained I had to pay maximum charge which turned out to be £70 for my campervan . Quite a lot for 20K of motorway - ouch. They would only take cash and as we didn’t have that much issued a ticket which I have to pay the next time I find a booth with a guy in it or can do it online. This must be done in 8 days. I asked him what would happen if I didn’t pay in 8 days and he couldn’t answer. Friends who have recently been fined for transgressing emission zone in Italy have received a bill via DVLA. Does anyone know if the same arrangements have applied to them when in Portugal in our scenario please?
