Diesel users to pay £20 to enter London
Discussion
Just heard about this on the radio http://www.lbc.co.uk/diesel-cars-could-have-to-pay...
I'm in two minds about this, on one hand it's getting out of hand the amount of pollution caused by diesel vehicles in London especially so in the heat were having atm, each day in rush hour as soon as I get to the top of Crystal Palace and then head towards London you can taste the pollution in the air (as well as see it).
On the other hand they want to apply the charge to pre 2006 petrols as well and I've got a 2005 RX8, I don't commute in but if I had to £20 per day for the privilege just for passing through on weekends then the charge would see me get a taxi in instead defeating the point of lowering the particulate emissions.
Wondering if it will apply to Taxi's and Busses and if it will just be the existing congestion charge zone or the LEZ M25 one.
