London Low Emission Zone

Anyone been caught out by this?

 

I've been talking to a bloke today who got lost coming out of Kent and strayed into the LEZ.

 

Unfortunately for him he's been away in Spain since this happened. He got back yesterday to find a fine waiting for him, and the amount for him to pay is?......... £1500!, £1000 for the offence, and £500 for late payment. How do TfL justify that? He was driving a 4.5 tonner if that makes any difference.

 

All of this is assuming what he told me is correct.

I had to move some furniture for an in-law a couple of years ago with my old Hilux, didn't realize I had entered the zone as I always work local. Got a letter with a warning and informing me that next trip would cost me £100?

I think this is the most unfair aspect of it. All under 3500kg GVW should be exempt in my opinion. There are a lot of rules and exemptions that can confuse.

I assumed as it was old, commercial and diesel??

Seems it's correct. Over 3.5 tonne is a grand!, with an added kick in the knackers for late payment.
