I thought post 2015 Euro 6 diesels are exempt.I support this initiative since my 2004 Honda S2000 is ULEZ compliant. If I'd bought a diesel like the government told me to I'd be seething. Selfish, moi?

Well yes, and so is my 11 year older petrol.I thought post 2015 Euro 6 diesels are exempt.
That's not the point, the point is that it reduces the number of non compliant vehicles in use and so reduces overall emissions.What I would like to know is this - aside from a percentage to cover costs and admin of the system (surely mainly AI driven by now?) how much of the charge goes towards lowering pollution/green issues??
edit - found it.
is it a plane? Is it a boat? No it’s a bus called Superloop..

The explanation is in oxides of nitrogen and PM10 emissions, but I imagine that you'll have read about this.And yet our 18 year old and 20 year old Audis are both compliant/exempt. Both are petrol engines.
PM 10s and 2.5x come from a variety of sources. Who knew? Meanwhile *some* come from vehicle exhausts and this is the subject at hand. If you want to ban wood turning stoves in urban areas too, I'm with you all the way.That’ll be the PM10 of which the governments own website says:
“However, around half of UK concentrations of PM comes from anthropogenic sources in the UK such as wood burning, and tyre and brake wear from vehicles.”
(They also state that about a third comes in from foreign countries, and 15% occurs naturally, such as pollen)
Curiously, no mention of petrol or diesel vehicle engines.
Indeed the same webpage shows that vehicles contribute less than “domestic combustion ( I assume this is cooking & heating.

No, just a witness of how it affected people the first time round, and listening to people during the second rather than basing it on the media.
Using the £2k car line is part of the propaganda ironically as there is a lot more to car ownership than the initial purchase.
Ah 'pollution', that old chestnut..
Whereabouts do you live in London?
The £2k car isn't propaganda, it's a simple fact.
Same emission results could be achieved without disproportionately affecting those least able to actually afford the measures being introduced. I’d start with classic cars that don’t meet ULEZ compliance but I see they get to pollute my children for free because they are over 40 years old, you really couldn’t make it up.That's not the point, the point is that it reduces the number of non compliant vehicles in use and so reduces overall emissions.
ULEZ was introduced by Boris Johnson when he was Mayor (not that that makes it a bad idea, however much I despise him). Khan was obliged to expand it as funding depended on it.Kahn is the Tories biggest weapon. I despise him for this, and many of his other London failures. I've yet to meet anyone who supports him, yet he still gets voted in because their literally isn't anyone else.
Classic cars are small in number and little used. I'll take a Morris Minor doing 1000 miles a year over a modern car, it's not a significant contributor. When did you last see one? I've seen one so far in this whole summer, yesterday morning as it happens.Same emission results could be achieved without disproportionately affecting those least able to actually afford the measures being introduced.
