Be wary driving a diesel inside the M25 from 2024

[JohnB]

The Ultra Low Emission Zone which imposes a £15.50 daily charge on all but the newest diesels will be extended to all London Boroughs by the end of 2023. The proposed London Boundary charge and daily charge for all other than electric cars have been dropped though.

Could be lots of diesels going cheap in the home counties then.

Tne charge (another clobber the motorist move) is £12.50, not £15.50 as originally stated

Presumably this applies to all diesel vehicles not just cars?

If so it is little more than a money-raid on businesses as there are few types of business that don't need to use diesel vehicles, either to have supplies delivered to them or to deliver their product, and usually both.

I guess 'services' businesses like accountants and self-employed computer programmers will be only peripherally affected.

Are they getting charged depending on how far they move their mouse?

Only if the mouse is powered by diesel.

If they bought the mouse on Amazon, what delivered it?

In that case I recommend upgrading to a trackball mouse

I did about 10 years ago. Much easier to use, lowers the pressure on the wrist and they take up a lot less space (because you don't need to move the mouse).

I'm not sure you've fully grasped the differences between deliver by diesel van, stork and midwife. You can get books about it, y'know!

Would that be an "Ultra Low Emission Drone"?

Well that eventually brings us right back on topic, because it's the specific rodent-delivering bit of the diesel van that changes cash to mouse-shaped objects, you see...

Yes.

It's the Catalytic Converter....

Having seen the emissions from a Heron, I think Storks would also be banned from the ULEZ.

Of course the mouse could run on Cheese Diesel, but then it would probably not move much at all.[1]

I just googled for diesel cheese, and was rather surprised by the results it returned.

As surprised as an MP who googled for tractors?
