See https://www.gov.uk/pay-dartford-crossing-charge for details.
WTF! What the hell are you supposed to do if you don't know you can't pay at the gate/get lost/are a foreign visitor to this sceptered isle/etc., and show up at the crossing without pre-paying?

That's bloody stupid imho.

Okay, just read the link properly - you have until midnight the next day to pay the crossing fee. I guess they've taken down the barriers to ease the congestion and have ANPR cameras to record your registration as you cross. At least that means Polish truckers won't have to pay any more...
