al02uk Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Cars are not affected by the LEZ, vans currently have to meet Euro 3 standards to drive in London. This only came into force in Jan this year, so nothing will be changing just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 i really do hate the goverment, if there that concerned about polution, why dont they ban all cars and make us shag horses. I don't see how that would help. Have all the Welsh finished with sheep then? This is madness. To implement measures that could cost business 10's of thousands of pounds during a recession. They are already under massive pressure with rising fuel prices, insurance etc. I know a lot of contractors who work in London and this will not be welcomed. Why not wait till we are out of recession before making laws and rules that will cost poeple money, when they have it they may not mind being forced to spend it. It would also boost the economy when the time is right. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Err... it's getting rid of the highest polluting vehicles in a seriously polluted city. Can't see a problem with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Err... it's getting rid of the highest polluting vehicles in a seriously polluted city. Can't see a problem with it Makes no sense, yet again this will hit thise who can't afford it. If contractors had the money to upgrade their fleet they probably would be doing it every set period anyway, it's the small business's that this will rape as at the moment they are probably already struggling and don't need to be paying out for new vans. Thank god they haven't implemented this cr@p in Scotland......yet, I hear talk of it being started in Edinburgh though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't actually that many vans that'll be affected, and the ones it does effect are massively polluting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, no-one can tell when this financial dip will end - or even if it will - yet society does have an obligation to clean up its act regardless of the economic climate. I don't think that's in dispute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's in dispute. No offence but I dont think society has any obligation whatsoever, if johnny public buys a van in 1999 for £12k who the hell is the govt to tell him that 10-12years later he can't use it wherever he wants. He paid the money for it and now they are forcing him to spend more, if the govt wants to meet targets then offer incentive's not taxes, too much stick and not enough carrot. The govt never asked us did we want this, and if they did only a few green party muppets would volunteer to pay through the nose to reduce their 'carbon footprint' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
