These Regulations amend the Dartford-Thurrock Crossing Regulations 1989 ( "the 1989 Regulations") in the following ways.

First, by amending regulation 5 of the 1989 Regulations to make it clear that, under that regulation, charges are made, not in the case of any vehicle, but only in the case of a vehicle falling within the relevant Part of the Table set out in that regulation: see regulation 3(a)-(c) of these Regulations.

Secondly, by increasing some (not all) of the charges to be made under regulation 5 in respect of vehicles above a specified width or length or weight which use the crossing: see regulation 3(d) of these Regulations. (These charges are in addition to any tolls which may be levied.)

Thirdly, by increasing some (not all) of the minimum and additional charges which are used to calculate the fee payable under regulation 12 of the 1989 Regulations in respect of the attendance at or the removal of a vehicle which has broken down on the crossing: see regulation 4 of these Regulations.
