Low emission zone in London
muddyjames:
I was reading a magazine last night that mentioned this new law coming into effect from Feb this year for lorries then a few more dates later cars and vans will be enforced.
So who is going to be effected? It will mean I can't go and visit my Uncle in Penge any more thats for sure.
But what is the crack about people on veg oil? As far as I am aware veg oil gives out zero emmisions. Would I have to pay £200 to drive into this new zone if I was on veg oil?
Another thing is, say I wanted to go to one of the 2 caravan club sites within this zone and stayed a week? I would have to pay the site fees and if I went out on day trips every day I would have to pay £1300. Thats alot of money for a holiday in the UK before you even take in the price of the site, atractions etc etc.
£200 seems very steep for each day. the goverment know how to look after us don't they :twisted: :evil: :twisted: :evil:

Diesel engined vehicles between 1.205 unladen hey. Thats my disco then. Last time it was on a weigh bridge with half a tank of fuel it was 1300kg. Best use my other car for London trips in the future!!

It was discussed on here recently.
Howevere if you go to http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/lez/default.aspx you'll find all the details on this. I don't think that Discoverys are affected.

think that weighbridge needs calibrating kerb weights for landies below No disco's but I would have thought somewhere close to a 110 would be about right.

I did check my Reg number using their database a while ago - mine wasn't affected by the LEZ. Not that I'm planning to go into London anyway - overpriced and overcrowded, I'd far rather be out laning!
