The Tyne Tunnel has taken two "serial toll evaders" to court after they racked up 264 unpaid journeys between them.
The operator behind the Tyne Tunnel has warned that those who regularly choose not to pay their tunnel passage may be taken to court and prosecuted. The warning comes after two motorists who made dozens of journeys through the Tyne Tunnels without paying have been successfully prosecuted and fined at Newcastle Magistrates Court on August 18, 2022.
These are the first examples since the new open road toll system was introduced in November 2021.
