 | Something
that may be of interest to MG enthusiasts driving to France is the French motorway
operators have now set up a toll payment scheme tailored for UK customers. Sanef,
the French motorway operator has now extended its Liber-t automatic toll payment
service to UK motorists. The Liber-t tag will work on the entire French toll
road network and can also be used to pay for parking in some car parks. To use
the service all you need to do is register on Sanef's dedicated UK website and
they will send you a small electronic transponder (tag) that you attach to your
windscreen just behind the rear-view mirror. As you approach the barriers, a device
by the barrier will |
read your transponder (tag), securely extract your unique reference and then automatically
open the barrier without you having to stop and manually pay the toll. You will
receive an invoice the following month and then around 15 days later they will
automatically collect the payment in £ (GBP) from your bank account via
Direct Debit in the UK. The
tag must be visible from above in the centre-top of the windscreen so that it
can be detected by the barrier gantry at the toll plaza. Full details are on the
Sanef website in English. More
