ULEZ

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

My Omega is exempt (or was last time I checked, unless he,s changed it) My C1 is exempt, my Boxster isnt exempt, but could be if I jump through a few hoops and get the required paperwork from Porsche GB, then snd it off to the fookwits in Londinium.
It is undoubtedly nothing more than a revenue raising exercise, but its going to be chaos.
All the county councils in the home counties have refused to allow the signage to be put up in their counties.

My 02 3.2 Auto is exempt according to TfL vehicle checker....

The government has the power to stop ULEZ in it's tracks. But it won't.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Apparently so, but if they did it would end up in the courts and the Govt would probably lose as they haven't stopped other LEZ's around the country and Mayor Khan't would successfully claim that ULEZ is consistent with Govt policy.

I think that the Tories are hoping that ULEZ becomes Labour's poll tax.

The time taken could mean that Khan is no longer there.....and the policy is dropped by the next London gaffer.

That's hopeful.    We will see more ULEZ, not less, as the damnable policy spreads across the country. 

It's all part of Net Zero...

It's all part of paying for all the lazy and spongers...

An that.

We already have cars with low emissions. They are the cars that pass the emission test as part of the MOT.

If they don't pass emissions it is illegal to drive them. If they do pass emissions people should be allowed to drive wherever they choose without paying £12.50 a day.

The Govt. could have over ruled it, but they chose not to, because its all part of the future net zero plan, which will inevitably include pay per mile for motorists.
They are all in it together.

Yep....but they probably reasoned it was better to blame Khan, Starmer, and the Labour party in general.

I personally think the Tories would have gained more brownie points at the next election if they had taken the bull by the horns and given khan a bloody nose.

We shall see.

surely the government use the RFL road tax (which is based on emissions levels) and fuel duty to "clean" the air in the UK and fix the roads

the dirty diesels (2005 & 2007 1.7 CDTi) not so much 

Diesels have to be EU6 to be compliant with this tax.  So around 2015 onwards, pigs piss and all that...

Ten years ago derv was going to save the world.

How do you save the world with pig piss?

[dave the builder]

Drown the EnviroMENTALists in it
