Title: London Bike Congestion Charge 2020
Post by: Frosties on 27 March 2015, 11:38:16 am

Hiya fellas, as below link, bikes made before 2007 will have the same £12.50 congestion charge applied as cars. Not too much of an issue as any 13yr old bike is ok and still free but a bit of a piss take to classify bikes as the same emissions as a 1990 Ford Sierra Diesel  :grumble

cant charge for based on emissions if the vehicle doesnt have an official co2 figure quoted by govt or manufacturer

if the figure for the vfr is true then id keep quiet.....

i have a honda civic 2001 1.6 and i pay 180 quid a year and its 157g/km

55 or 80 will do me just fine :D

if i had to pay car rates for bike (if ever) id be buying a c1 or a panda
