People of England, driving into Central London has just got more expensive. An Ultra Low Emissions Zone" (ULEZ) has come into force, meaning drivers of affected cars will need to pay an extra 12.50 to drive into the nation"s capital. That"s on top of the 11.50 Congestion Charge" you have to pay if you drive into London between 7am and 6pm Monday to Friday. You need to pay the ULEZ charge, which replaces the T-Charge", 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You"ll be affected if you have a motorcycle that does not meet the Euro 3 standard, a petrol car/van that doesn"t meet the Euro 4 standard or a diesel car/van that doesn"t meet the Euro 6 standard. In practice, this means you"re probably screwed if your motorcycle was built before 2007, your petrol car/van before 2006, or your diesel car/van before 2015. Unless it"s a proper classic - cars over 40 years old are exempt from the charge just as they are road tax.
