      I was diverted into the LEZ with my sprinter motorhome when the Dartford bridge was closed, next thing was a fine for taking a lorry into the zone without being compliant at 3860kgs. The only approved way was to drive all the way around the WHOLE M25 to the A2 the other side, that is signed as the correct diversion.

      Cars over 8 years old are now considered to be scrappers.
      ULEZ charges will be about zero by 2030 as most non compliant cars will be at end of life.
      And those cameras will then be used for...?
      I predict our new AI masters will punish anyone driving anywhere.
      Or/and the charge will be tightened to change to anyone driving a non-euro 7 car.
      ULEZ is a lie and must be stopped.

This zone is ironically next to London city airport which has been expanding it's traffic and facilities ever since i've lived here. And also, they are now building the new river crossing right in this zone which will bring more traffic. I'm sure these aeroplanes and cars run on water. Newham council approve ridiculous ammounts of building development whilst TFL are either cutting their services or not expanding them. There are so many people living in my part of London now, who literally can't afford to live here, it's ridiculous.

      Perhaps.

      The way I did it was a little unorthodox but was many years prior to all this current BS, but the end deal was I got a custom name on a different plate to the main guts of the machine.
      It may be easier or harder to track that way, did not bother me it was well within the limits back then anyway.
      Q plates is another to look into for some perhaps.
      I cannot remember the details on them, only that they were a different category if I changed just a little bit on my custom build.

Any diesel van (probably most) purchased before 2016 most certainly are, as a euro 6 is needed. I would suggest a ratio of 1 van for every 10 cars. Here is the thing my diesel van burns the same fuel as any other diesel vehicle on the road, if you looked into it ill bet you a tenner the emissions between my euro 5 engine and a euro 6 are negligible at best.

    if you have a older late 90s petrol car it could be compliant, you need need to contact the DVLA to find out at what VOSA station is able to do this and it usually isnt cheap as well.
    you can test this out yourself, find a petrol car model that was made from the late 90s to earls 00s and check for compliance on a 90s one and 01+ one. e.g. Renault scenic mk1, Honda accord etc

    Here’s an interesting point.
    I own a Citroën Saxo which I have owned from new. It was registered 1st of January 2001.
    I received a letter about 18 months ago for TFL saying my car ‘Might’ be compliant with ULEZ but because the euro standards didn’t come into effect until March 1st 2001, I would have to get a certificate of compliance from the manufacturer as the information was not on my V5 documentation ( but would have been from March 2001)
    I duly contacted Citroën/ Peugeot and coughed up an eye watering £200 for literally an A4 sheet of paper with all my vehicles details on it and Emailed it to TFL who in due course agreed the vehicle complied and is classed as an ‘Early adopter’
    Now here’s the interesting thing,
    MY car is classified as Euro 3, not Euro 4 which is what you would expect as it’s a car and not a motor cycle.
    Also, a friend has a Peugeot 206 1.4 ( petrol) on a 54 plate & HIS car is compliant, it had the necessary proof of compliance on the V5 from new, but his car is ALSO Euro 3.
    It sort of makes this categorisation for cars a nonsense.
    How can a car be compliant on a motorbike classification?

      ..i think we'll survive that. Good 'nutrition' might help, but the government evidently can't even spell the N word. Little profit in healthy people..they just need various causes to monetise! We aren't going to live forever anyway and the planet is quite capable of looking after itself for a while and doesn't need any trivial 'help' from the (ha ha.. are they kidding us?) W.E.F.!!
