rider Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) Glasgow LEZ goes live tomorrow with many more schemes around the UK set to commence in the coming 12 months. If you live in one of the towns or cities around the UK introducing their just stop oil LEZ zones why would you own a Mk4 Supra? Facing a daily surcharge of up to £60 to use any petrol car pre-dating 2006 (unless you can claim exemption for your blue badge taxi Supra) why would you? In Scotland the proposal is that the surcharge is a fine, that doubles upon each infringement. What starts as a square mile in the city centres will expand as councils exploit the revenue generating potential of the schemes whilst standing behind the virtue shield of saving the planet. Now would be a good time to ditch that Mk4 Supra if you are a town or big City dweller or else sometime in the not to distant future you will face a hefty surcharge every time you take it out of your driveway. That or wait another 10+ years until they become historic 40yr vehicles that are presently LEZ and ULEZ exempt (upon application). Keron is awaiting your call.

Scooter Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 The Scottish versions of this are seemingly very draconian, and offer little option for partial usage. The London one at least has a relatively modest and fixed charge so that you could keep a non compliant car and use it infrequently at not such a huge cost.
