The zelfontbranders worldwide are increasingly restricted.

London already has a strict system, with the aim of belittling of the motorist and the reduction of private car use. Anyone who is between 07:00 and 18:00 hours in the town (ticket), should a congestion charge to £11,50 pay. Per day. Even Obama. Dieselaars get there soon an additional amount on top.

Mayor Boris Johnson wants, according to The Times the congestion charge-amount for diesels to increase to £20. Only diesels with a Euro 6 standard, or a CO2 emission of <75 grams spring the dance and pay the regular rate. This would be needed to the number of polluting diesel cars and thus pollution emissions, under pressure from the EU. Also for uneconomical petrol cars would be in the long term more must be paid.
