I'm the least "green" person you'll meet. With that out of the way, as a London worker and cyclist and someone who drives into Westminster most days I'm sick of seeing these clapped out old stters belching out yards of soot whenever they pull away. Usually black cabs which I'm assuming have to go through some sort of enhanced MOT type thing, clearly finding a way around it.

My insurance is reduced by the dashcam which I use (i.e I've got no interest in reporting supposed bad driving or all that nonsense dashcam users are famous for) and it occurs to me that I collect evidence almost daily of these minority creating the pollution the Mayor of London is supposed to be addressing.

Is there any kind of system in place to get these things off the road quicksmart and fining the perps using dashcam footage as a means of detection?


(for clarity I'm genuinely concerned for my health having to breathe in London. It's utterly ridiculous how polluted the air is)

This isn't about moving house nor is it a general moan about properly functioning diesels, that's another debate altogether.

It's about a proper air pollution problem that's genuinely killing people according to the reports, caused by ignorant tts who've somehow managed to circumvent anti-pollution tests and need holding to account. The yards of thick putrid smoke guffing out of some of these old stters is beyond a joke and they're driving around all day long and getting away with it. Christ knows now much st they belch out in a shift.

And the reason for being exercised about this is these folks are causing a crackdown that'll effect the 99% of road users taking the time and responsibility of maintaining their vehicles properly.

So please don't confuse me with a general moaner.

I'm guessing there's no whistleblowing line then to get these sheds into the crusher?
