Originally posted by tazdevil View PostSo Mr Khan is delighted to be charging an extra £12.50 per day to drive in London with the new ULEZ. Fail to pay and its a £160 fine, but better than lorries who have to pay £100 per day and if they fail to do so a £1000 fine So not only can people not afford to live in London they also can't afford to drive in London and I guess taxi fares and so forth are all going up because of this. Will ULEZ see the death of the town centre or is this a ploy to make overpriced electric vehicles look affordable?
FY52FPT Silver FORD MONDEO ST220
No ULEZ charge due for this vehicle
This vehicle meets the emission standards for ULEZ so you don't have to pay this charge when driving within the zone.
No LEZ charge due for this vehicle
This vehicle either meets the required emission standards, is exempt from the scheme or is subject to a 100% discount.
Can you not afford a 17 year old Mondeo?

It's about time cars were taxed more for polluting city centers. Get on her bike fattie and save the NHS some cash.

If he was serious about air quality, he would ban the cars not tax them.
He has increased traffic on the inner london ring road. And soon he will increase traffic on North/South circulars. What is wrong with tightening the LEZ which basically enforces traffic to keep to the M25 or outside?
Anything that annoys car drivers and encourages cycling/walking is good in my view.Comment

As he is also against diesel black cabs due to their high polluting rate, he gets regular death threats on twitter. He also runs a small business that gets regular made up bad reviews. I really take my hat off to him.Comment
