London Low Emission Zone charge
Discussion
Need some advice from those who might know...
I've never driven in London before, never needed to, never wanted to. Anyway our van got recovered to a gear box specialist just outside Dartford in Erith where we had a recon box fitted. Driving home, I was unaware that we were in the LEZ and as a result have been hit with a hefty bill of £250 if I pay within 14 days. If I had paid in the first place it would have cost me £100 for the "pleasure" of driving the 2 or so miles out of the zone.
OK I appreciate that ignorance is never usually an excuse but wondering if anyone has ever won against the system? Is it worth while arguing the case or should I just suck it up and pay the fine?
