I think upper estimates suggest 858,000 petrol vehicles and 782,000 diesels will be hit. TfL say 255,000 petrols and 321,000 diesels.

Weirdly my 18 year old 1.4 petrol engine is exempt from the ULEZ. If I ever want to sell it, I'll drive it to london and try to hock it there as a cheap runaround.


Annoyingly the ultra rich who live in the middle of London are exempt from the ULEZ for 3 years. They already get a 90% discount on the congestion charge ,I don't know why.

They don't get any discount.
