Presuming of course that whoever you’ve paid to leave it with, doesn’t drive it while you’re away. Ok cool. So day 1 we cross the threshold, day 2 we move the car within the zone where it stays for 10 days. Day 10 we cross the threshold and return to the midlands. Do I pay for 1, 2 or 3 days?

You pay for every day you drive within the zone. From what you've said that's day 1, day 2 and day 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a pisser for me as I’m going on holiday from Heathrow for 10 days in October. My 2.0L Ford Kuga is not compliant We have booked a local holiday inn for the night before and we’ll leave the car there, then collect it 10 days later… do I have to pay for the 10 days it’s sat not moving in the hotel car park? Edit: actually car isn’t staying at the Holiday Inn, we drive to the airport in it and then hand it over to be parked. Welcome to khan's london. Its going to be in every city i reckon by 2030 soon we will be prisoners in our own homes 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I wonder how many of the 100,000 people going to Wembley to see England, a cup final or a concert will rack up fines? It’s gonna be a nice little earner for London that’s for sure, even at £12.50 per non-compliant vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern sid ive said before isnt the current guidlines as such its once they dont make money from it (wehn majority change their cars) they will change the criteria so more cars pay the ulez. I reckon in years to come you will have to change your car every 3 years to avoid ulez charges. Thats when we will be prisoners! Id love to be wrong mind you but thats what i expect 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id love to be wrong mind you but thats what i expect By then all cars will be electric and they'll have to consider new ways of earning from motorists. I'm thinking probably pay per mile car tax.

Popular Post Dodgyknees Posted August 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2023 Just wanna say how much you’ve all kept my head above water over the last 2 months. Being made redundant was scary - especially with a baby on the way. But this forum has made me laugh and given me so much to keep me going. This is the best community I’ve been part of (and I say that as a former moderator on the old OS - some 20 years ago!). You are all amazing and you make my bits feel good.
