Default From Oct 2017 : In London any Vechile made before 2006 gets a Daily £10 charge

They would be paying £11:50 already
each day like all other drivers
but any Old Car or Van from before 2006
another £10 ( from Oct this year).
£21:50 per day to drive your bloody
stinking old car into London.


Makes Sense.

And yes TS this will effect the Poor folks more,

To be honest a city like London could do with banning non-commercial / public transport traffic entirely, with an exception for blue badge holders also. Replacing it with efficient and free/cheap public transport for all.

With that being unrealistic, though, I think 2006 is a little bit harsh? There are plenty of pre-2006 cars that are hardly spewing out emissions. It should be based purely on the emissions output of the car. A 2005 focus is quite obviously producing a lot less pollution than a 2007 transit

Yes TS
the best way is
to get the Engine modified/updated
and avoid the extra charge
As your car or van is cleaner output now.
