Emeritus Prof Christopher MayI'm a #driver (albeit low mileage & rural), but I don't want #RishiSunak to be on my side... what I want is some leadership to start to do something more about the #climatecrisis - I would have thought it would be the absolute priority for anyone who cared about their country..... oh, hold on
Natasha@ChrisMayLA6 Also a driver (rural too). However, having lived at the edge of the proposed ULEZ as a teenager, we never had a car and never needed one. We walked most places (better for health and environment) or used bus/train/tube, walked to the shops and carried the shopping home. Parking is a nightmare, driving often takes longer than walking, so makes no sense.
Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPE@nusher @ChrisMayLA6 I accidentally drove into London yesterday - I'd wanted to turn onto the M25 from the A3 but this turned out not to be possible. I saw all sorts of signs about various London-specific schemes that are unheard of elsewhere ... I wonder what fines I'm going to get through the post in due course.
James Evans@TimWardCam @nusher @ChrisMayLA6 After 29th Aug, when the ULEZ expands, you’d still have to drive a long way past the M25 on the A3 before you hit the charging zone, and you’d have to do it in an old, polluting vehicle.
TfL have a free auto-pay scheme to help drivers pay the charge and avoid being fined.

Unless you have an old banger (pre 2005) the one I think you might have to worry about is the Congestion Charge Zone.
On Sunday only applies 12:00-18:00, so you might have avoided it.

@marjolica @nusher @ChrisMayLA6 VW diesel 53 reg. It works fine, so "old" for sure, but not "banger". (I spent the extra to get a diesel because the government were telling us to because it was green.)
