It seems that this crazy law is based on emissions levels and if you have purchased a green zone sticker and your car has passed on mot emisions you should be ok.
Question is how much is this all going to cost as is always the question (I may have to put the plan to decat on hold for no LOL)

i can understand reducing emissions, im not an uneducated monkey that drives a subaru lol

but the way i see it, if they wana do emissions america produces 1/4 of worlds pollution, even tho america is not 1/4 world...

also this is just another money making scheme, all cars with an engine size greater than 2l will fit this bracket (inc our turbo cars)

dont forget that this will start in london if it gets here and then it will most likely spread to brimingham then manchester....

and i mean 10years man... there r loads of cars older than 10years now, ppl under 25 who got old cars wont b able to drive to town cos they got not enough money to pay for either a newer car or woteva the fee is to drive into their own town centre.....
