the mayor of london has come up with even more tax's if you want to drive in london, it will now cost you £24 a DAY, to drive in the center of london, he is one of the biggest ****34rs, to ever walk this country he himself come from a very wealthy family, his uncle gives him an allowance of millions a year,
how come you have to pay more for a diesel car even if it emits less co2 than a petrol car,
Because there are other emissions from a diesel - Diesel emissions include also pollutants that can have adverse health and/or environmental effects. Most of these pollutants originate from various non-ideal processes during combustion, such as incomplete combustion of fuel, reactions between mixture components under high temperature and pressure, combustion of engine lubricating oil and oil additives as well as combustion of non-hydrocarbon components of diesel fuel, such as sulfur compounds and fuel additives. Common pollutants include unburned hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx) or particulate matter (PM)
no infrastructure for electric cars in london
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has created a new taskforce to help increase infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs) in London. The EV Taskforce, the first of its kind in the UK, will make it easier for Londoners to switch from diesel to electric vehicles. The result will be cleaner air for everyone. It will also help with the Mayor’s aims for London to become a zero carbon city with its entire transport system zero emission by 2050.
Rapid charge points
Rapid charge points are essential to support Londoners and businesses to make the switch from diesel to electric and charge their vehicle in as little as half an hour. Standard charging points, in comparison, take between four and eight hours.
London now has over 100 rapid charge points, however, most of these are on land or roads managed by Transport for London. To encourage businesses, taxi drivers and Londoners to switch to EVs we need a huge expansion in rapid chargers. To make this happen, the Mayor believes we must work together with the boroughs and private sector.
Charging points for residents
Alongside rapid charge points, the Mayor is working with London Councils to install slower standard charge points on residential streets, including retrofitting lamp columns. These will help Londoners who cannot charge an EV at their home.
25 boroughs have expressed an interest in participating and have been allocated around £4.5m funding. Londoners wanting to switch to an EV should write to their local council to request a charge point near their home.
what happens if you live in the city center and have an old car,
he said he will give concessions the the fire & ambulances, so they will not have to pay the charge when they are saving your life, you carn't make this up, he said that on the news this morning
he has put in place 20mph borough's, so you burn more fuel driving in 3rd gear all sodding day,
20mph Zones Before 20mph zones were first introduced in the UK, it had been recognised in the Netherlands that 30km/h was a suitable speed for residential areas and that vehicle speeds could be reduced through road design. In 1984, regulations were introduced which allowed municipalities to reduce traffic speeds and volumes through this approach. An evaluation of 15 of the 30km/h zones was conducted. There were engineering measures in all of these areas, including signage, speed humps, narrower roads and chicanes. The reduction in speed was dependent on the type of engineering measure introduced into the area, but speed humps and narrowing the road almost always reduced vehicle speeds to below 30km/h. The researchers noted that there was also a reduction in traffic volume by 5% to 30%. There were reductions in the number of accidents and injury accidents compared to the rest of the municipalities with the experimental areas and also the whole of the Netherlands. Whilst both accidents and injury accidents showed between a 10% reduction to 5% increase in the 6 years following their introduction in the municipality and whole of the Netherlands; the number of accidents dropped to around 80-85% of the initial figure in the trial areas, and injury accidents dropped to between 60-80%. The first widespread evaluation of 20mph zones in the UK was carried out by TRL in 199611. It found that injury accidents were reduced by 60%, and child injury accidents were reduced by 67%. The evaluation did not find evidence that accidents increased on surrounding roads due to drivers changing their route. There was a decrease in traffic by 27% in the zones during the evaluation, but the authors attributed a large part of this to bypasses which were also built in conjunction with some of the schemes to take through traffic away from the area.
most organisations have said it will make little difference,
Oh yeah?
the list goes on and on, the man need's to be outed, he has no idea about the average man, on the street carn't get a grip on KNIFE CRIME but sure can raise those tax's, the biggest fool in london .
Oh yeah?
