But they're not leaving even one or two kiosks for tourists or whoever, like every other bridge I've ever crossed around the world which has no-stop pass systems?

Tourists can pay the fee by phone or website or (more likely) have it billed to the car rental company so it will be charged to them later. If they're driving their own (foreign) car, there'll be no toll.

I really don't understand this.
I don't have a credit card and there's about 200000 different tags on offer... WTF? can I just not do anything and pay the €3 in a shop? or do I have to register or something?

If you don't have a credit card (for the website or phone system), find any Payzone outlet by 8pm the following day and pay cash.

I don't understand this either.
If you don't register for a tag and pay in a shop what details do you need to give when paying in a shop.. is it your car reg?

Yep, just your car reg.

But for the rest of us who only use the M50 to get to the airport or shopping at Blanch on the odd occasion once per year have to A) Pay more, Log onto the internet the day before we plan to travel pay by credit card and make sure we have planned ahead for our return travel? And what happens if you dont have a credit or lazer card?

I don't think you can prepay without buying a tag, you either pay for a tag or post-pay. If you don't have a credit card, pay by cash. To be honest, if you have an AIB or BOI account, you already have a lazer card. How many people over 16 don't have lazer cards by now?

And what gripes me is that only the Irish have to pay this!
Johnny foreigner wont be paying a thing as they will no nothing about the system and clearly wont be chased all over Europe by the M50 people with a fine!

London use an international debt collection agency to enforce the congestion charge for foreign cars, I'd be surprised if the NRA didn't consider it too. It's a joke at the moment.

Although I use the m50 every day,I only noticed the two erections just before the toll bridge yesterday. I assume one is to register the toll with the tag and the other to take the picture if you don't pay. I'm sure in the weeks to come we'll see an abundance of speed checks in the area owing to the the amount of people 'testing' the system and just how fast you need to go and not be caught by the camera's. Ironically on that same trip yesterday,going through the easi pass lane,the car in front of stuck me to the tail of the car in front of him and got through without paying. Is this the shape of things to come. We'll see convoys of cars,driving within inches of each other at speed and then stopping further down the m50 to divvy up their share of the 2 quid. It could be economical if there was enough cars in the convoy.

Does that work?
If you drive through Easy pass lane and have a car right in front of you and right behind you, then your number plate can't be seen?
Interesting......
