    If you were on the M50, it doesn't have toll booths - you can't pay on the road itself.

    There's more than a few road signs on the M50 informing drivers about it.

    You aren't exactly painting a good light of your observation skills when driving :pac:

    It's the eflow system, do you not remember passing through a barrier free toll booth on the M50?

    There is a camera at a point on the road the records your license plate. You have to then log on to a webpage after the fact and pay the toll. The idea is to not cause traffic buildups by requiring everyone to stop and pay at a booth. There would have been signposts on the road telling you about this.

    Plus you were probably driving an Evo and having far too much fun to notice a few little signs. ;D

    There is no toll booth... A camera picks up your reg as you go over the bridge, there's no actual booth.

    Still tons of signs though.
