A select number of motorists were given an extension on their Tyne Tunnel toll fees - giving them the opportunity to write off hefty penalties.
Users of the tunnel are expected to pay their toll by midnight the day after their journey and have the option to set-up a pre-paid account.
And while the Tyne Tunnel previously had tolling booths situated at its southbound entrance, they were demolished late last year - with executives instead implementing a brand new cashless system on November 8.
