Yes British plates why not to worry as I believe that they can send the bill with a fine to the UK?

In fact my mate lives there and he reckons if they do send a bill it's no more than you have to pay anyway.

I have seen parking penalty notices sent to careless friends in the UK who thought they'd got away with it, but twice out of about 25, so the odds are good.

On the toll roads, been there and done that. You're driving along and suddenly find yourself on an electronic toll road. Being on UK plates at the time, and with no payment mechanism, just ignored them and no bills have arrived. I have heard anecdotally of the odd person getting the bill sent to them in the UK, but only for the amount due, not a great cost

Don't worry about it is my advice.

Yes that's right they do seem to be very fair with their charges and fines, we parked a car in villa mora where we thought it was free and got a ticket with all sorts of prices on it in Portuguese, anyway fearing the worse we went to the post office where it said it had to be paid, and low and behold , found,if you paid it within so many days, which we were in all the fine was a complete days parking, ours was eight euros.

We unknowingly got onto a pay road around the east of Tomar. On our map it was just a national road but once on there we saw the signs and overhead cameras for a pay road. Martin telephoned the company and was told to forget about it. It was five years ago tho' and things have moved on since then.

My reason for posting was about the sneaky way of making a road a toll road. Sometimes it's hard to avoid getting onto one.

I was my own fault as I was listening to the human satnag.
