Inevitably. No pain no gain. Let’s see what cost that pain entails.

Of two cars in the family, one is subject to the charge. Not a problem for the time being but I have a choice. Sell it and buy a newer compliant one or just pay the charge. That car is used rarely so it’s probably more economical for me to just stump up when I need to than spend several thousand replacing it with something equivalent. Result? No reduction in pollution but money in the bank for the government. Not exactly what you’d call a win.

Before anyone asks, my alternative? An extra fuel tax. Use a car a lot and it makes it a no brainer to replace the car. None of this zone nonsense. Still puts pressure on people to buy a more eco vehicle. But what it doesn’t do is punish anyone who drives infrequently and by definition pollutes very little in relative terms.


On a separate note, I think Lucille mentioned visiting Putney Exchange and Wandsworth dump. The answer is drive to alternatives. Wimbledon for food and Kew for the dump. Pollution saving cancelled out by mileage travelled? Who knows but one suspects it’s it’s probably a close run thing. And alternatives like Uber? They’re not all hybrid or all electric as far as I’m aware. So again, not exactly a gain for CO2 reduction.
