Driving through London for free - confused. Please explain (re: recent changes)

[izoneiz]

Right so Boris has abolished the idea of introducing a £25 charge for cars that emit more than 220 co2s (or is it 225?).

He's also abolished the idea of allowing cars that emit less than 120 co2s free entry into central london - correct? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7494495.stm

From what I've found, the only cars that will be able to drive in for free will be cars that can do so under the "current scheme".

Um, what's the current scheme? Is it simply all "alternative-energy" vehicles get free access? i.e. priuses, all lex hybrids, and all lpgs cars?

Cheers

Unless you put it in a paddlin pool on the back of a trailer pulled by a landy.

Or just don't go into London, you will be better off all round

Never found public transport into London to be anything other than excellent compared with the car for the same trip..

So the tube is more comfortable than the 5-series?

For a 9 minute journey between stations in London it's far better than a 5 Series.

But you don't look as good riding the ube with your arm out the window and hanson - M Bop playing out loud.

We are really being helpful to the OP

Erm, how about a Jet pack?

Or a skate board and a 6 pack of curried baked beans.
