Old trucks to be banned from london!

[CaptainBeaky]

It says mine is exempt (96 Gen3), but it only appears to apply to commercial vehicles anyway, not private cars.

[captain_chaos]

checked again, and mine's not affected. Although it says it's subject to change, so who knows. Looking on the map, one of my mates lives just inside the zone

this is what it says about mine for the 2010 regs..
"Non-compliant - Based on the information you have entered and information held by Transport for London (TfL), the vehicle is classified as not meeting the emission standards for the Low Emission Zone (LEZ).
While the vehicle is non-compliant, when it is used in the Zone the daily charge must be paid otherwise you will be liable for a penalty charge.
For information on how to comply with the LEZ click here. Your vehicle may be classified as non - compliant if it holds a Reduced Pollution Certificate (RPC) or a Low Emissions Certificate (LEC) that expires before the date shown. If your certificate is renewed in the future then the vehicle's compliance status will be updated from the date of renewal.

Emissions classification for these dates is based on the Vehicle Type and the age of the vehicle."

thats what I thought, till I checked mine...

Your details at the DVLA must say 'van' or something somewhere. It doesn't affect cars. Definitely.

Mad Ken will move the goal posts once the LEZ is established, until only yogurt-knitters driving cars running on lentil juice, and Hugo Chavez, will be allowed to enter the charge without writing a blank cheque.

The sooner this idiot gets voted out, the better

ok now i have a new question. i have just gone to get an insurance quote with a random company so i can get the make and model of my truck from my registration plate and it says it cant find any information from my reg no.

is it because its an import?

Like the way it specifically covers the 'Heathrow Spur of the M4'. Goodbye Heathrow, Hello Stansted!!

It will do one of two things, it will either work in the sense that it will make london greener (but at the expense of small businesses and working class individuals). Or it will completely cripple london's economy and push development out onto greenfield sites outside the M25

All that will happen is that anyone wanting to bring a transit or bigger into London will need to run on something other than diesel. Probably not a bad idea, it stinks here.

Yeah! Vote Boris Johnson.

Oh. Hold on a minute......

Maybe there's advantages to driving a reliant robin http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/forums/sh...light=H472+NRX

My V5 says plg or whatever it is, not down as a van....Is it because I signed the petition to have Clarkson as PM??

hmm, may start a light goods transport service through london using estate cars with seats folded down

Just checked mine on their compliance tester and it says i'm OK til 2010
after that it won't be compliant.

It isn't just for larger vehicles either,, if you read thru some of the pages they are going by weight and as far as i recall the Surf is over 1.5 ton which brings it into the "non compliance" group.

Just another con scheme to pay for the mayor's onterage and christmas ball etc.etc.

Cheers
