Just a thought, ref. London could someone live in a camper van within the zone and (presumably) just move about a bit to avoid the ULEZ cops?

there's multiple ULEZ cameras on pretty much every major road and a load of minor ones too so you won't get far.  you'd have more chance staying still and just avoiding the curtain twitchers

The camper is ULEZ exempt, sorry I should have made it clearer and not worded it how I did. I wondered if you could live in it and just move it round so they didn't suss you out.

Couldn't you just park it outside @LightBulbFun 's place leaving just enough space for REV to annoy that BMW driver?

Yes because nasty diesel engines emit particles even when parked with the engine off.

I do wonder how much of this is the *actual* reason a lot of cars are being sold from London? as sure ULEZ is a kick in the balls, but sadly I know my council is far from the only London Council to have parking charges like this, so if you have some 1980's-2010's diesel car and/or larger engined car that your street-parking, your getting majorly screwed over on parking charges even before you get to ULEZ

Yep. More raw government dry bummage.

I wonder if anyone has asked them how they justify these varied charges?
I could understand if they charged by the length of the vehicle but not the emissions. For parking.

the not MOT since 2017 is giving me the fear, but I totally would otherwise, an FX4 is a vehicle I would dearly love to own/experience someday

however sadly logistics just make it a non-starter,  mainly the parking situation here which ignoring the fact that its 1 car per resident, is emissions/engine size based with a diesel surcharge, so while say @wuvvum's Citroen Visa  would cost £130 to park for the year, this FX4 would cost me £723!

and the council have a 5 year plan of price increases where also the diesel surcharge goes up £50 a year so by 2027-2028 the Visa would cost me £147, but an FX4 Fairway would cost £1243!

Why the fuck are we putting up with this bollox.

The emissions-based parking charges?

A 'carrot and stick' effort, to encourage residents to move to having vehicles that produce less CO2 and/or using public transport instead, I guess. More 'stick' than 'carrot' IMHO...

Here's an unusual one - diesel Starlet.

With 54bhp and an auto 'box I can't see this winning too many traffic light Grands Prix, but could be a pleasant thing to bimble around town in as long as you don't live in a ULEZ zone.

Bloody Norah it's a Perkin's engined AWD! Weren't these the 'buy out' version of the Bedford?

6 stud wheels=7.5 tonnes, I think.
