Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Re: More Highway Robbery
Its not really going to effect many people I think.
Not coming into effect until 2020
and only for pre 2007 bikes.
How many are riding 13 year old bikes, yes a few but these aren't commuters they are more enthusiasts.
Just another reason if one was needed not to visit the god awful place.

Another reason to think very carefully about where you put your crosses on May 5th ;)
Some may disagree, but joining MAG adds weight to their campaigning to have the congestion charge dropped entirely for motorbikes and scooters.

Re: More Highway Robbery
That isn't the congestion charge Badger, the LEZ and ULEZ is all about vehicle emissions both in terms of what comes out the exhaust and what it produces per passenger mile.
What makes me laugh is all the turns off the M4 around Heathrow take you into the LEZ, despite the kerosene guzzling jets flying overhead every few seconds.

Re: More Highway Robbery
And all this demonising suddenly of diesel cars, christ the amount of pollution caused by diesel cars is stuff all compared to factories /truck and buses , I reckjoj it is the government not getting enough revenue form, the fuel and trying to get numb nut car drivers to buy petrols again, cos with the particulate filters cats etc diesel engines are just about producing fresh air now , the early 1990,s VW golf umwelt diesel had cleaner emissions from the engine going into the cat than petrol cars had coming out of the cat

Ahhh I haven't been to London in ages and don't get all these charges, just sounds like a number of stealth taxes to me ;)TLS-Moose wrote:That isn't the congestion charge Badger, the LEZ and ULEZ is all about vehicle emissions both in terms of what comes out the exhaust and what it produces per passenger mile.
