Good one Ollie

Stew

I got caught like that just before we came home from our last trip. We generally only use toll roads with the van on the back but on the one journey we did solo I got charged class 2 because I had the roof box on the car. It was only a few euros so hardly worth a fuss but I will be more careful in future. It depends, I suppose, whether its just the vehicle that should be over 2 metres to be charged class 2 or the overal height including things like roof boxes or bikes?

Hi Northtim,

we are setting off for the Vendee tomorrow too...we have a chunnel crossing at 07.50..so an early start.

got a Zafira with a roofbag so I will keep an eye out that we don't get caught out.

Hi Kelper.

              We use a Sanef Telepeage TAG, one of the reasons for getting the TAG, was that I had been told, some folk towing trailers, had been charged the above 2m rate, even though they were under, our trailer is 1.7m in height, so about 20cm taller than the car, so by using the dedicated fast TAG lane, it ensures that we are only ever charged the car only rate.
