(otherwise known as Uncle Ken's I-Hate-Cars-Especially-Big-Ones tax)

A friend of mine went into London a few weeks ago on business, the place he visited was just outside the charge zone and being an outsider, got a bit lost and wasn't sure if he entered the charge zone.

Rang the number, spoke to a lady and asked if they log number plates and if they can tell him if he needs to pay. "No, can't do that"

So what if I might have entered, if I go and pay now on the same day but afterwards, is there a fine "No fine", but will you then refund it if I didn't enter the zone "No"

So what if I did enter the zone and haven't paid? "Get a fine". So why can;t you tell me if your database shows my car details as entering the zone?

I say - go and register your car as a Taxi for the year if your in that region, its cheap to do, free Congestion charge and no "need" to actually be a taxi.
