How many of you have had to change cars due to ULEZ Tomorrow
Me for one....Now having to buy easily double the fuel and I think a waste of what was a great car (BMW E61, fast as hell , great MPG but electrics designed by Diane Abbott) . And the rumours of further changes in 2025 are also worrying .

Good question. Needs asking! :cool:

Fortunately I don't drive my car into London very often and my family that do live in London are outside of the North/South Circular (just), but I'll have to remember if they say 'Lets go to this pub for lunch' if it's inside the line. I don't suppose there will ever be a definitive answer to how many cars had to be replaced? It will depend on the spin anyone wants to put on it 'Only a small number of people were adversely affected' vs 'Perfectly good cars had to be scrapped as useless', or 'Many polluting vehicles were removed from the roads which made a vast improvement in air quality' vs 'There are just as many cars on the road and it made no discernible difference'. |
Doesnt matter. If maypr Khant sticks to schedule - and so far he has - from 2025 the cleaner vehicle discount is abolished and no vehicles, not even electric cars, will be exempt unless in the disabled taxation class.

Damn, my car is OK so I still have to visit my sisters in the big smoke.

I'm in the process of changing our 'fleet' and had hoped there'd be some super bargains to be had.
Not so far ... |
