New law introduced a couple of years back. You have to pay 8 sterling pounds, the equivalent of $16 EVERY day you drive into the city (or at least the most "congested" parts).

How will they know whether you paid or not? The city has thousands of cameras all over every entry and exit point within the "congested" areas that scan license plates of every passing vehicle. It immediately recognizes any plates that have not paid their charges for that day, and you get fined $100 immediately. Weekends and official holidays are free.

I heard that they were going to raise this charge to $40 for SUVs and gas guzzlers

Wow, thats complete BS. So you have to pay a tax in order to drive to a place that was built by taxes.



Thanks for the explanation.

The F50 is a beast.

And yes, the congestion charge is ridiculous.

Seeing an F50 on the streets of London is badass. That guy must be crazy to drive it like that. Then again I'd probably do the same if it were in my garage.
