Can you pay the ULEZ charge the day after?

The ULEZ charge costs £12.50 for everyone, with the same fee payable if you pay in advance, on the day, or the day after. Pay the ULEZ charge within three days of passing through the zone, or you'll be fined. Transport for London (TfL) cameras are placed at entrances and exits to the zone.
