The gormless idiot drive a Prius, so all that lead from the batteries every 5 years, plus manufacturing 'costs' will do more environmental damage.

What ? I never hear such a ridiculous idea >:(

They think they could ban all those fast cars Ferrari, Lambo's,Bugatti , and all V8 classes.. Any big or fast car over 1.5 tonne will easily past this limit..

a that fat idiot mayor thinking about £200 per day to drive into London for old lorries? What a pillock.

Hauliers will use new lorries in London, the older ones in other cities.

I vote that Londoners themselves cop the extra cost of goods, show fatty that just because his brain cell is lonely, no need to come up with such BS

What a pile of arse vomit, mpg is only a vague calculation at best. It all depends on how the car is driven.

I agree that a cap should be put on performance cars, but only for new/inexperienced drivers.
