I Joined an Anti ULEZ Protest and INVADED London!

AdamCFest 2024 Tickets: petrolheadonism.club/adamcfest/
For something a little bit different, I joined a Stop-ULEZ Convoy that protests a matter that will affect all of us petrolheads, if it hasn't done so already! The ULEZ (Ultra-Low-Emissions-Zone) was initially brought in to combat emissions in central London, where pollution from vehicles was at a notable level. However during Sadiq Khan's reign as mayor, he has expanded the zone to areas that just don't need it, taxing the poor and forcing thousands to either sell their cars and replace with far more expensive, not necessarily cleaner, vehicles, or pay £12.50 for every day they leave their driveway.
Let's bring awareness to more car enthusiasts about this issue that may not end until the whole country is taxed.

Since the ULEZ expansion, ive had 19 ULEZ fines come through in the post. Where 2 totally different cars in London have cloned the plates of my car. Each time i have to appeal against TFL to get the charges dropped. I am told "Plate Cloning" has gone off the scales since this ULEZ expansion. Met Police actually suggested to me that i change the plates on my own car to stop getting fines !. Like really !.

Emission compliance is based on particulate emission rather than just CO2. NOx emissions are far more harmful to human health than CO2, and diesels produce higher levels of NOx than petrol. So that's probably why your diesel T6 isn't compliant but your 2003 petrol Mini is. Euro 4 for petrol engines and Euro 6 for diesel is the minimum compliance level.

A way around this is for everyone that gets fined must cost the government more than the value of the fine. Don’t pay and it will cost the government money to send a goon to the door. Tell the goon to go away and this will cost the government more money. If a court summons appears, wait until the day you are due in court and become ill, a doctors sick line for stress and depression will do just fine since they can’t force someone to be there if they have a doctors backing, again this will cost them money and at this point it’s probably cost them more than the original fine. When the court date gets rescheduled, get another doctors sick line, and another and another until it’s costing the government way more in lawyers fees than the original fine. If this is done en masse, and it must be done en masse, this government extortion will fail. Remember folks. We are the people, the government works for us, not the other way round
well done to all involved

A lot up there scrapped or sold cars because Glasgow, Dundee, Edinburgh, Aberdeen & Perth all got not just ULEZ zones....but out right BANS for older vehicles.
