matters for two car families, users who regularly change vehicles or those who have courtesy vehicles etc. This is judged a misuse which can result in a Severn River Crossing "Fine" of £25+VAT. The tags regularly become faulty, and the user cannot tell if the tag is faulty until they reach the lane. Where the reader will issue the message "Tag Error" the barrier remains closed and the lane is then blocked. At the Second Severn Crossing with a dedicated "high speed" Tag lane, this will cause a large queue to build up quickly, whilst an attendant is called to deal with the faulty tag. Until January 2016, it was not possible to add funds into a Trip Tag account online, or with a credit or debit card, although it is now possible to top up a Trip Tag balance online, though Trip Tags still cannot be set to top up automatically when the account balance falls below a set threshold ("auto top-up" as is possible with e.g. the Oyster card and similar electronic tags used on the M6 Toll and Dartford Crossing). In July 2017 it was announced that all tolls on the bridge would be abolished, As announced on 2 October 2018, tolls were scrapped on 17 December 2018.
