A few comments asked about the specific ULEZ emissions requirements for Diesel vehicles and if it's possible to register them as exempt. The information is courtesy of the AA, which lists a breakdown of emissions standards for the various EURO standards: www.theaa.com/driving-advice/fuels-environment/euro-emissions-standards For Diesel cars, you car would have to meet the NOx and PM values below: Euro 6 emission limits (diesel) CO - 0.50 g/km HC+ NOx - 0.17 g/km NOx - 0.08 g/km PM - 0.005 g/km PM - 6.0x10 ^11/km I have no experience if "early adopters" exist regarding Diesel car emissions. EURO6 was a significant jump forward from EURO5 with many cars utilising AdBlue technology. Please let us know if you have any success!
Hi , there's also the fact. The EUSSR have no jurisdiction to force anyone in England, to follow any of their bs order's. England never Lawfully joined the EUSSR. It did though leave under EnglishLaw. Though, at the will of the liar's in government here, in league with the EUSSR claiming we did not leave . They Lie and say we never left the EUSSR. Despite the mandate given by the people of England . The government, have not followed those instructions. Hence though, we do not have to pay ulez. The EUSSR has nothing to do with us. Though most asleep do not know this fact. Hence are compliant sheeple .
Watching this with interest. My 05/08/2011 build Mercedes E220 CDI has a COC states Nitrogen figure of 148.50 mg/km which equates to 0.1485 g/km. This mesns it would not be eligible for exemption application. I am not a ULEZ or zone guru and this is my 1st (& possibly last) diesel car... As touched on in comments...I alsk believe Euro 6 cars have AdBlue additive tanks. Mine does not have same. I genuinely like & enjoy my car for what it is...however if I replace it then I may go back to Euro 4 petrol (or one potentially exempt by COC & Nox level) Incidentally I am aware of alleged emissions discrepancies subject of group legal actions....albeit not relevant here. Great video btw ...thanks👍
Only ONE death even remotely attributable to 'Air pollution'. Also, the Mayor and others can't even get the story straight as they often quote 4000 deaths in the press and online. I really do wish people would wouldn't keep repeating these BS figures as if they're true when they're clearly NOT. Motorhaus has a responsibility to present FACTUAL info and not just repeat govt propaganda. You'd think someone posting a video on ULEZ would do their research a bit better really. Poor content.
Everyone should just refuse to pay the charge. If they take you to court insist on a trial by jury, which is your right, and just wait to see how quickly that clogs up the system and makes it unworkable.
Recently, I had to drive into central London. Normally, I would have used my wife's 2011 BMW 320d, nice efficient car. Instead, thanks to ULEZ, I used my 2002 Lexus LS430, a V8 gus guzzler, which is exempt. Feeling good saving the planet😁
Exactly the only reason they are doing this is to make money because the criteria has been twisted to suit a money grabbing narrative , mass non compliance is only way to stop those parasites
I recently scrapped a perfectly good Landrover Diesel Discovery 2.7ltr because of the impending ULEZ Expansion to cover my home. I replaced it with an older gas guzzling Petrol Range Rover Sport supercharged V8 that IS compliant- bonkers
@@TheMaxbw But it's attitudes like yours that land us in the positions we're in!! Just keep on complying, give them all our power, and let them trample all over our rights? That might be your silly idea but it doesn't suit others that want a life!
I check out how many people died from pollution in London in recent years. this is what I found. "There was 1 death registered in London in the period 2001 to 2021 which had exposure to air pollution recorded on the death certificate in either part 1 or part 2 of the death certificate. This death was attributed to environmental air pollution, however, we are unable to determine whether this involved car emissions"
He's quoting Sadiq Khants figures which are bullshit. An independent report, ignored by Khant, backed up your research data but this channel is ignoring it too. The new ULEZ will have negligible affect on cleaning the environment.
That was a famous test case, the little girl involved was literally the first to have such a recording by the coroner so it’s unsurprising that there is only one. That doesn’t invalidate the peer reviewed studies that show the probable cause behind the quoted numbers.

Perhaps you could explain how a ULEZ charge cleans the air! If the mayor was really concerned about people's health, he would ban dirty vehicles instead. But I would suspect the extra income will be spent on a folly somewhere.
1 death tenuously linked to air quality? There are far more deaths from stabbing in London How about charging £12.50 per day to carry a knife in London?
@@twig3288 You were breathing while you typed this drivel, ergo it is possible to do two things at the same time. Knife crime has absolutely nothing to do with air quality. I've responded to other 'what about' comments on this video which were at least about other air quality matters, and even they were straw man arguments. Yours is... less valuable.
@@timdean9665 No it doesn't, it coincides with their ILLEGAL lockdowns. Lockdown, another prison term, when are the sheep going to realise they are being herded to the gas chambers? see Hancock's leaked text messages.
This loophole may work for a bit, but Khan's final plan is to charge by the mile so no matter what car you are driving, you are going to pay, this ULEZ is really a foreplay for what's to come.
So Khan's going to Abolish The Road Fund Revenue that you pay to Travel on the Roads, somehow i don't think the Govt. will be happy if we all STOP paying the Road Tax AS WE PAY tax Voluntarily. Unalienable Right to Travel Freely (unimpeded) in the Course of ONE's Life & Business LEVY FREE.
Sadiq Khan’s, to reduce toxic air by expanding the ULEZ to greater London will not work. He doesn’t really care about toxic air quality and here is why: - He has already made the toxic air far worse since he has introduced the LTN’s which have increased the toxic air on the main roads because we are forced to use them as there are no other alternatives, especially during rush hour. The roads are now grid locked with traffic moving at walking pace and the fumes are getting denser and not dispersing. LTN’s need to be reopened as it is causing more damage than good. Among all this, the mileage in vehicles has also increased due to the fact that we are forced to go the long way round to get to the required destination - all accumulating to even more emission being emitted! Bravo Sadiq & team. - The health for pedestrians and children as they walk along these main routes to get to stations, schools, shops is deteriorating. Even the drivers inhale more fumes when we are stuck in stationary traffic. This is really aggravating and makes no sense! - Cycle Lanes: Should not be taking up an extra lane of the roads, large pavements could be divided into two for cyclists. - The introductions of 20MPH roads are also a problem because emission fumes don’t disperse quickly and the air is getting even more polluted because of the need to drive in lower gears. Sadiq’s statement: “It is to reduce toxic air pollution” is clearly not accurate and is making matters worse. The situation is getting extremely out of hand and something needs to be done to stop him from ruining our climate even more. He should resign and Londoners should vote for someone who will make London a greater and more desirable place to live in. There needs to be a more logical and strategic plan that is well thought. Vinnie Lauda
It's not about reducing toxic air though, it's about making money. The motorist has always been an easy target but since they switched control of minor offences from the police to the council they have milked it for all it is worth. It's like fitting DPFs on diesel cars. Millions of motorists around the world are now having to take their cars on regular runs to keep the DPF clear, otherwise they clog up. Increasing the amount of mileage people do isn't going to do anything good, but it's got nothing to do with that anyway.
The thought of going to London, let alone driving through it, fills me with dread. However, discovering that my 52 year old land-rover is ulez-theft exempt Inow quite fancy a trip into the 'bottom' of the UK..
@@van-gabondramblinrose6398 correct, Birmingham council had to bin off over 70,000 tickets as people are refusing to pay, stick it to em bollocks to Khan and his little hitler regime.
I was thinking of buying a non ULEZ compliant car and putting it in the mayor's name and parking it everyday in Zone 1. Let him get the tickets and see how he likes it.
There is a big issue here, as soon as one single person proves a car to be exempt, the ULEZ database should automatically allow the same for all models of that year, why should umteen people have to pay money and go through this hassle when it is the authority behind ULEZ that has got it wrong/ and fails to update its records? The system should be changed, once you prove them wrong, the ULEZ authority should have to pay you back for incurred cost and time as it is their error.
Exactly, is TFL actually fraudulently taking money from vehicle owners when they have been given proof that that model of vehicle is exempt. Needs a car motoring group to raise a lawsuit in regards to this.
The system is not about emission; it's about collecting money and justifying it. The government doesn't care who has a respiratory disease and what caused it because paying more fines doesn't solve the problem.
So if everybody paid the daily penalty then that would be okay then! This is a money making scam as a lot of people now know. Just following on behind this to keep the money rolling in will be road charging per mile! It's all in the London Mayor's battle plan to make motor users lives as uncomfortable as possible. Nice video by the way!
@@catsandcrafts171 If you watch his arrogant attitude during the London Assembly meetings it may surprise you. The nasty little man ordered the cameras even before the public consultation had even started! He also needs the money to pay for other schemes so the pay per mile will be introduced too at some point. 🙄
Thanks for a useful video. This may provide a small stay of execution for some, but it won't be long before the exemption bar is raised. Eventually the cameras will be switched over to charge drivers of ALL cars (including electric) by the mile. At that point the argument will conveniently switch from air-pollution to congestion. Or there will be evidence that even zero emission cars still produce particles from their brake dust, and from tyre wear.
DEFUND THE COUNCILS, Stop paying Council TAX . We under OUR Unalienable Rights Don't Pay TAX, we are classed as LEVY FREE, any Taxes we do pay are Voluntary to improve OUR Standard of living , we don't give the money to A Council to turn it around and USE OUR MONEY AGAINST US, ITs given to Benefit us.
@@douglastodd1947 Exactly, this is what makes me angry. They are PUBLIC roads, not the property of some council or mayor to do what he wants to with (i.e. make money).
I am thinking of setting up a business specifically for london its a donkey and cart hire I mean the donkeys are smarter than the average labour voter in London and how else will the poorest get about or move stuff around
Didn't Boris start this whole mess? I think the tory voters are the idiots at the moment. (I'm a swing voter in the north of England, so don't accuse me of being a rabid 'leftie, as people usually do when I point out the current cognitive dissonance in the tory population).
That all very well, but you'll probably find your donkey won't meet the new criteria coming in on donkey emissions. Wouldn't it be nice to rewind to the 60s or 70s and stay their, the world is a mess.
Yep 1 death where pollution was found to have contributed, however it stated this cannot be completely attributed to vehicles. And seeing as vehicles make up prob 12% of londons pollution there are many other factors. Plus the child had a number of health conditions.
There is a very REAL loophole that one Londoner is using and its funny, he has a 2002 car that's obviously not compliant but he can't afford to replace it and it runs ok and has passed its MOT's with no problem. He decided the ONLY way he can get out of paying the ULEZ charges is to fill out the cars V5 and register the registered keeper as Sadiq Khan at Transport for London so in effect giving them the responsibility of being the keeper of his vehicle BUT he still owns the car. He can tax, mot and take out insurance on the vehicle and drive it but any ULEZ charges will be sent to the registered keeper, namely Mr Khan. The best thing is for Londoners en masse need to re-register their cars as Khan and Transport for London being the new registered keepers, doing that the ULEZ will be destroyed from working and a failure.
Or there's another legal loop hole it's called don't be a fool and know your stuff. Don't pay altogether, let the penaltys come, wait for it, then work the system, and then ask for your day in court under your article 6 right to a fair trial or hearing - and will you get one? Nope because there is no real legal contract in the matter as long as you pay road tax on the public roads not private roads then you have a right to drive anywhere in the country! Organisations are not above the law! 😀
We should ask for a court hearing, with a jury and take the 'law' along with you, the jury have the right to decide wether the law is just, if not the law has to be scrapped.
That's a serious case of 'whataboutery', air travel is taxed in an entirely different way. I've no idea if it's fair or not, but it's nothing to do with the ever increasing number of cars on the road.
I've had lengthy exchanges with a Caz zone regarding my van it's a ex Stockport low emission lpg vehicle mine was the first batch which was leased to fleet management companies and councils on a trial . These vehicles proved very successful and after a year they went into full production these vehicles are fully exempt and at the time of mine registration euro category didn't exist . The vehicle didn't change specifications remained exactly the same but mine was classed as a dirty high polluting vehicle . Ford did a car version with seats and windows in the back fitted with one of fords most polluting diesel engines and because it PLG car it's exempt my van version with windows rear glass and ford factory fitted LPG Low emission vehicle is chargeable . It's a scam
Went into Bristol with a none compliant vehicle. Had to drive further and stuck in back streets in traffic jams to avoid the centre. So Yes it's working well there to avoid emissions in the town centre. I suspect the council's plan will be to expand the plan further out to counter this. Rather than see how much of an inconvenience to locals and traders.
Your figures are wrong on the deaths, there has been ONE recorded death on a certificate that the causation was from a definite source, which was vehicle pollution. This was from a young asthmatic girl
It worked! Sent certificate and log book digitally. Got letter confirming exemption and checked web site, which showed exception. Thank you, thank you very much.
If it's done by camera check and NOT in person. Just block your plate and keep on driving. The speed cameras here in Cleveland are (mostly gone) now. There's always a way around things like this 😂...
I think most of the unclean air / particulates, come from aircraft / helicopters and not from cars. Do the authorities plan to fine them ? I think not. This is just a method of transferring money from the poor to the rich. Why don't they charge people on the number of flights they make ?
Didn't know any of this, Bob! Just discovered I'd have to pay to go to Manc or Bristol, 2 places I do go to occasionally. Thank god for Sheff there's no charge. What a flippin nightmare this is... I already found the London system to be a pain, so thrilled other cities are rolling it out.
Try it in Scotland, there are five cities where it's an instant fine zone (IFZ). No charges, no permits. If the idea was thought through like the French have done we would be ok but not on this small insignificant isle where common sense has been eroded from the minds of people who think they are in charge. If only they'd had proper training first on how to please the people and not their egos. 🫣
No one is charging for brake disk wear... And as for EVs, the VED exemption was always going to be temporary. Frankly per-mile taxation makes the most sense anyway. Gather the odometer data at MOT time, issue an annual tax bill and give a year to settle it before the next MOT.
@@DevAnubis but they want to charge for it.. check it out, fukin ridiculous stuff going on at the moment and ive been around since 85.. we aint entering some mad climate catastrophe, allll bull shit power grab
@@DevAnubis you carry on thinking that you are in for a shock. The Government is not going to lose Billions in tax money. They'll get it back another way. They might call it a road Maintainance tax ?
@@LeeKirkman88 I didn't say they wouldn't reform vehicle tax, in fact I explicitly said that per-mile taxation was the most likely future scenario... But taxing brake disk and tyre wear would just effectively be an additional purchase tax on buying new brake disks and tyres, which would undoubtedly lead to people putting off replacing worn brakes, pads and tyres, leading to safety issues.
Just a side note under freedom of information act 1 yes one single person has died as the result of poor air quality in London not the 3 titanic ship loads as mentioned in this video
Don’t know where you got your data from, but between the years 2001-2021 their was 1 death registered in London down to environmental pollution, however they could not confirm this death was down to car emissions, and that’s according to the ONS government website, you should immediately redact your doomonger titanic analogy
The number of people who have died officially due to 'pollution' since records began is 1, they suffered from hyper asthma. The 9000 a year is based on models and we all know how accurate them models are!
A friend of mine bought 3 Mercedes vans for his company, as he’s got a removal business. The vans are the same year, make, & model, two of them are exempt and 1 is not, he rang DVLA to ask why, and they said they are investigating the reason and will get back 🤔🤔🤔. Also I’ve found out I have to pay for my certificate of conformity from General Motors Euro as I drive an import, with VERY LOW emissions, stated on my MOT records. This is all a rip off.
I've seen loads of people misunderstanding the MOT emmisions tests, and particularly misunderstanding that the MOT does *measure* NOx emmisions, but actually has no pass-fail criteria for it. The only pass-fail emissions tests in the MOT are for carbon-monoxide and uncombusted hydrocarbons. Presumably the government do use the NOx emissions data for something, and hopefully one day there will be pass-fail criteria for NOx or at least a rating scheme for vehicles as they age (because frankly any 9 year old Euro6 diesel is going to be dirtier than when it was new).
I just went out and bought a far bigger more powerful petrol v8 version of the same Merc CLS. Now in super huge petrol gas guzzler engine form, I more then double my emissions v my Diesel and then I modified it to be an absolute monster at 450bhp, it's more that double the power, half the mpg , it accelerates like a race car and is much worse for the environment yetULEZ exempt. I gotta say the mayor Is a genius he has developed a green eco policy that incentivized Me to be less green and I'm exempt and smiling every time I fire the insane engine up
So if it's about health then all the proceeds and fine money goes to research and treatment of those unknown people that MAY be effected? No, thought not.
As part of the mot the emissions are tested. I used to run a split screen vw with a 1600 standard engine that ran cleaner than our ' modern' euro 4 fiat 1200. SteveH
Even the mayors own study showed the ULEZ zone expansion would bring only 'minimal' benefit, that's why he refused to release the data. It found that most 'particulate matter' was made up of brake dust and particles of rubber tyres shed through wear. only about 15% of the particulate matter was from engine emissions. EV's use brakes, and they also use rubber tyres. They can wear tyres quicker due to the extra weight of the batteries etc. So switching to EV's won't help. But this isn't about 'health' or the 'Environment' or even 'green energy', it's about increasing govt control of people's lives. Believe me, it won't stop here, and just because your car is exempt today, doesn't mean they won't keep moving the goals posts once ULEZ is established. Meanwhile of course, Sadiq drives around in an armour plated Range Rover....
Thanks for your help. I have a 1999 Jaguar S type 4.0. It's nox is listed as 0.3g/km. I also have a Nissan X trail 2.5 petrol 2003. Nox is 0.21g/km. Putting the argument to bed with knowledge is very empowering. As my Nissan can do a 80 mile trip with four people in once a week to equal the amount of CO2 the occupants gave out in that time it's all a bit crumbly on the science argument. Telling 9.7 million people they each breathe 1 kg of CO2 in 24 hrs for London doesn't seem to matter.
I know your channel is primarily concerned with retro/classic and 90s shod _wot will won dey be retroh_, but the biggest thing I haven't seen in the entire CAZ "_debate_" has been discussions on how many, or rather how few, vehicles will be affected, even in a propper Class D zone like the ULEZ where private vehicles aren't excused. Gov.uk publishes vehicle registion data, and my back of the napkin spread-sheeting from the 2021 data suggests: 50% of diesels are newer than Euro6 (~6.0m) 91% of petrols are newer than Euro4 (~17.3m) Not too surprising as there's a decade between the standards. Together that's ~23.3m compliant vehicles, ~72% of cars on the road as of 2021. What's most interesting is that the percentage attrition rate seems basically linear across the first 15 years of a modern vehicle. Total cars has grown by about 10% (3m) since 2004, but was basically flat from 2018, and yet the percentage change of cars by age in 2021 is linear right up until they're 15-ish years old, suggesting that really most cars are lost to accidents and writeoffs and then the final few get run until they can't run no more (or turned into future-classics for 'all). With that typical attrition rate, the modern non-pliant petrols would probably have dies off soon anyway down to the roughly 3% floor of "classics" that seems pretty linear from 2001 and older. But I suspect we'll see a massive drop in the non-compliant diesels, far faster than the "organic" rate in the 2021 data. Anyway I should sleep...
People who say just don’t pay are not considering the increase in fines for non payment and the resulting inevitable debt collection + their fees, which will lead to cars and property being confiscated to pay the debt and credit scores being obliterated. It’s not about going to prison, it’s about ruining people’s lives who refuse to conform.
Hi all, and thanks to Bob for an informative and helpful video, - as far as it goes! The problem is that it doesn't cover cars that are older than (say) 2004, but not so old they qualify for the 40 year exemption. My car is a case in point, I have a 1986 BMW 3 series for which the manufacturer does not issue a certificate of conformity. My question for Bob, (and anybody else) is how can we get (testing and) certification for cars which are 1. Not modified but incidentally have NOx emissions below 0.08%, - these are conformant but cannot prove it. 2. cars (like mine) which can have a Euro4 CAT retro-fitted to bring them into conformity by reducing their emissions to below the NOx limit. Nobody around the motor trade seems to have a clue about this fairly obvious issue which, if cracked, could avoid the charge for significant numbers of older vehicles. Contributions most welcome
This issue has noow been resolved. It is possible to get conformant cars certificated without a CoC but the test costs £2,500 (at present), Details contact me.
You’ve shown the min NOx level for earlier Euro 4 Petrol cars, what’s the level required for a diesel cars of 2011 with present NOx 0.099? Will this fall under the current exemption?
Outstanding Video and following your ways I managed to get a COC for my 2016 LWB Diesel Van (Euro cat 5 engine), but sadly after chancing my luck with TFL, they rejected my application, as the NxO was just over the limit. Thank you anyway, it was very helpful to know this. My V5 had the figures on the form, which I didn't see but the COC confirmed the values.
Thanks for the positive words and glad you enjoyed the video! Unfortunately it’s looking increasingly likely that unless your diesel vehicle uses AdBlue then it won’t meet the NOx requirements for ULEZ. Best wishes from us!
If people could afford it it would be nice for no one to use them road for years. Then all the share holders look to khan and say where's our money. No one's using the £ucking rds
What a lot of BS 9500 dead due to bad air...yoy get polution from tyres and tarmac and benzol which is emited by evry car burning on petrol.The few hundred of old cars left on the roads dont make a sligtest difference.
Believe it or not they can actually test for that and the origin of the particulates by the material in them... And yes, brakes, tyres and road surface wear do all contribute. Tyre companies are developing new materials, EVs use their brake disks significantly less, particularly in slow urban driving, and the point is to reduce the levels as much as possible. And then there's the question of PM.25 and PM1 being far more harmful as they can cross the blood brain barrier. And also ignoring NOx which is purely from combustion.
I was just Thinking THE Dept, of Transport should have the Certificates of Conformity For every Vehicle that Travels on the Roads of GB, PEOPLE should be able to look their vehicle up on a Govt. Website.
The public should "rollout" smart political decisions zones. If politicians do stupid things to an area... fine them. Two can play at this money grab. I think volkswagon could help with certificates of conformity... they well last time with diesel emissions.
Thanks for this, I have just contacted TFL regarding my BMW 2004 Motorcycle which they think is a car, I have sent my cert of conformity and we will see how it goes
My commercial vehicles is a early adopter they manufactured 1000 pre production vehicle sold to fleet companies and councils . After a years trial which was successful they went into full production these vans are exempt from all charges . Mine was registered in the higher category and charges are applied
@@alextaxi2593 That is disgusting! One or the other, but both is a complete farce. How frustrating for those who need to travel round London regularly :(
Plus you're paying road fund licence, plus 81% tax on fuel, plus insurance, plus MOT charge, plus VAT on parts and servicing etc.,candidates soon a mileage charge.
Dont pay , tell them NO it is not illegal it is a civil matter between TFL transport for london and you. Make a stand for once in your life and say NO.
I drive approx 140 miles to London every week and back. I hit the first ULEZ camera which is 6 miles from my work place it costs me £12.50 to travel those 6 miles and then a further £12.50 on the way back. I leave my car parked up all week. Basically I can travel 280 miles so called polluting the air for free. But get charged £25.00 for 12 miles. Seriously thinking of giving up my job. Thanks Sadiq.
I've got 2 classic bikes, made in 1977 and 1978, before emissions standards were introduced. Because they are both registered as Historic, they are exempt from ULEZ charges (and congestion charging because they're bikes).
I am keeping my old vehicle. I refuse to accept any of this and there are many more like me. This is about ending freedom of movement and control, nothing more, nothing less. I refuse point blank to live as a slave.
Tried for an hour to register on sheffield lez site as im a small business...no joy ..so had to pay £10 to go to a hospital appointment ..and pay to park ....
The data is not exactly scientifically correct as it did not take into account people's previous health conditions or where they previously lived in the world, its completely flawed.
Really useful…but I just contacted Fiat (have 2011 Ducato based motorhome) & they want £125+VAT for CoC & I won’t know if ‘complies’ until receive it! So, as I’m rarely going to take it in ULEZ or any other town centre (& could do a few trips with CoC cost) I will use my 2010 petrol tow car on those occasions which will comply instead !
Don't engage with their corrupt system. Don't pay it anything - it has no legal entitlement. Their scam only works if you act in unquestioning compliance; and get suckered in to paying what they dictate you owe them. Same as with Council Tax. Just ignore the scamsters and carry on as normal. Simples!
I've been locked in a war of words with GLC over their refusal to not exempt my car which is prob one of the most fuel efficient cars out there... 70-80mpg Reliant Robin gets stuffed for the same amount as a modern normal car yet is half the size, a fraction of the pollution but GLC are so up their own arses its a tragedy. Same as my poor mate who lives in Deptford, 120mpg Vespa, he's cornholed every way by stupid rules as there is NO exemption for classic vehicles whilst heavy polluters seem to get a free pass :(
Hi mate thanks for the video tips I applied for it and my reading came back 0.081 I'm hoping they will round it off to nearest decimal point look forward to hearing back from you mate?
Very interesting. I've just ordered my Certificate of Conformity from Toyota for my Landcruiser Colorado ( Petrol). Because I am the original owner, there is no fee to pay as indeed there wouldn't be if you bought your used Toyota through an official Toyota dealership. The question is, if it does indeed turn out that my car is ULEZ compliant, does that mean I am entitled to claim back from TFL all monies i have paid in the past when i have driven into Central London?
If you've ever tried not paying for council tax, you'll know that you get one warning letter and the next correspondence is a court summons. Whether you eventually pay the bill plus court costs, or not, the fact remains that you now have a CCJ against your name (and address!) for the forseeable future which is never a good thing. There is not a darned thing you can do about it. You can go to court and make any argument you like, but you will not win, unless there are some seriously significant extenuating circumstances.
There is an easy fix here folks. If you do not live in a ULEZ area, don't visit one, don't spend your money there etc. I shall not be visiting London again, clearly the GLA do not want me to visit as they are introducing a deterrent to me to do so, so I won't.
There was a case, in which a company's fleat has racked 11000 in fines because of ulez. The company took them to court and won because on the signs for ulez, it mentions that there is a ulez zone but doesn't mention that anything has to be paid. Since the company won, there is a precedent so all you'd have to do is point that out and go home. I'm pretty sure it's a bit more involved but that's the idea. Also, since no one agrees to this charge, nobody should pay it and it will be removed. It's atrocious.
The cost of relatively mundane classic cars is one of the major factors that should encourage the young to get into them, for these reasons, No MOT, No road tax, Cheap Classic car insurance, easy to fix with out computers or electronics!
