ULEZ Letter

[blueinsa]

Which supports a policy like ULEZ, which is designed to get rid of older polluting cars more quickly, doesn't it?

Well it’s not doing a very good job at that is it by taking money from people who then can’t use it to buy a cleaner, newer car.

I’d also suggest the increasing revenues from it also says it’s not working if what you say is to be believed?

It’s not believable btw, I’m just playing along here.

Well they would be creating more than acceptable levels wouldn't they.

TFL's figures are 10%.

Almost 700K cars not ULEZ compliant after scheme expands - RAC

The scheme is due to be expanded in August but the mayor's office disputes the RAC's figures.

No not in the slightest. You are absolutely laughable, not even arguing with morons like yourself I don't need the blood pressure raising. Have a shit day, you are now blocked.

You're right about the blood pressure, jeez. If you were anymore highly strung Sandie Shaw would be singing about you:-)

As this has, predictably, been moved to the politics thread I'm out.

Not worth anyone carrying on then. Mods can we close this thread the resident tory dinosaur has left the building.

If it's only going to affect about 2% of car drivers and factor in more and more going electric - then why has he bothered to bring this in at all?

Because the number of very polluting cars entering London has dropped from 35,000 a day to 12,000 a day over the decade since it's come in, the amount of NOx pollution in the City has nearly halved, and we want to do everything we can to get non-compliant cars off the roads ASAP because they put out about 4x as many pollutants as a modern (ie post-2006) car.

The taxpayer shells out £3.7Bn a year for treatment of pollution related illnesses to Londoners every year.

Before this latest expansion, over 75% of residents were in favour. Expanding it is always controversial, but when the 98% of drivers who are unaffected realise they're unaffected and it makes them less like to die from cancer, they'll support it again.
