London -Low Emission Zone

[Gordonm]

-Just received a warning (luckily not a bill) for being inside the London LEZ on my way to (or from?) the Nats at Eden Park earlier this month.
The fine for non-compliance will be £100/day, cost to fit a filter according to the DVLA would be between £1800-£3500 for my VW LT35 camper (2001),and has to be obtained and fitted by an approved garage.
-I don't think we'll be doing any more meetings inside the M25 boundary until we win the Lottery!
Cheers, Gord....

What are the rules with this low level emission stuff???

Can we get to eden park without entering these areas?

Basically you will be ok as long as your vechile is a post 2006 model.

Downside is you cannot get to Eden park without passing through the LEZ.

It has been in operation for 4 years so its not new but they tightened the rules in January 2012.

Anyone travelling inside of the M25 and central london should check for rules relating to the LEZ and C-charge zones, on the TFL website, this also applies for public transport updates

On the flip side living in London this is just a small part of the nonsense we have to put up with, with the olympics around the corner its getting worse......

From Watford we came around the M25 then came up through Croydon etc on the A23 route, still took about an hour (same as through "town") and dont recall going into or through any LE zones along the way???

The track itself is located inside the zone.

Darren your van is exempt if you still have the blue one that is. So are big diesel 4x4's but a full size transit or equivalent will be charged if its pre 06 plate.

The zone starts around apex corner but even by avoiding going around the M25 you still drive through it as it goes out as far as Bromley and Croydon.

BTW you can save time when you come around the M25 in the morning if you scoot down the A12 and go through the blackwall tunnel. On weekends the traffic is non existant at the times you have to travel to go racing, as my recent speeding ticket shows.......
