Genius new ULEZ loophole goes VIRAL. Does it work..?

The expansion of the ULEZ zone is creeping nearer, and Londoners are coming up with genius new schemes to get around paying the £12.50 daily charge. In this video we discuss the idea of registering your car to Sadiq Khan, before reading the article in more detail and finishing up with a classic Geoff rant about the state of things, and why I no longer make ULEZ videos. #ULEZ #London #SadiqKhan #Genius

There is no climate crisis, it is simply a UN plot to force world Communism on us all.

You don’t need a LOOP HOLE, EVERYONE JUST NEEDS TO REFUSE TO PAY IT.

I have an old Ford Galaxy diesel it runs perfectly, and always passes it's MOT with ease. I registered the car to my brother a few years ago when the ULEZ zones started. It's accrued thousands of ULEZ notifications and fines. I'm waiting for them to come and try to collect the fines. My brother died 6 years ago, so good luck with that. But this one registering it in Khan's name seems an even better idea

NONE of these ULEZ roads are what they claim, and should be referred to being "Scam Zones"because that's what they are.
Vehicles that are "non compliant" (some arbitrary made up standard)can still use these roads, so pollution levels will be no different.
The only change will be the drivers being made to pay for exactly the same thing they were doing previously.
It's a scam, and yet nobody seems interested in confronting Khan with this fact.

The system can't cope if everyone ignored fines or letters 😅

[Nickle]

I do love that he has to identify the driver in the case of a fine.

What a gem of a channel! Keep up the good work 👍

I don't know how else to get my message across. I am a ventilation engineer and my area is the whole of the South East of England. The worst polluted place on my patch is Kensington and Chelsea where they have supposedly been protected by the congestion charge since the early 2000s and the ULEZ from it's inception. Most places have new filters every 12 months but there it is every 6 months and the filters are black every time. In the outer boroughs like Bromley or Havering they are only grey after a year. The Zones have no effect on pollution whatsoever. I agree that pollution needs dealing with but they don't have any working solution yet. Also people in the Zone pay for it whether they drive or not. Maintenance people like me pass the charge on to customers all the time.

Genius! Astonishingly it seems most people still haven’t figured ULEZ out and think if their car is “compliant” it’s problem over. Well DUH what do you think he’s going to do next. Compliant is whatever they say it is.

[worldofrandometry]

Even if your current car is ULEZ compliant, they will forever raise the bar so that one day it won't be. Then there'll be the push for EVs only in London. I also still think it's hypocritical to allow people to pollute as long as they pay. WTF!

[zzgndcl]

Do not consent in any way. Sabotage and pushback. This imposition of cameras and fines is undemocratic and unlawful.

[P.H.]

London just had the May election for Mayor!
Shame on all those that didn’t bother!!!

[Con-Brio]

The cameras still need to come down, any way you like, no matter what.

[graemewilliams]

If it was about pollution then the MOT emissions tests would be tightened, all cars that have an MOT will have had their emissions tested and are legal to drive anywhere in the country.
It is all about filling TfL coffers with fines.
Remember that cars over 40 years old will be exempt and their emissions will be very high.

[TheSkunkyMonk]

We don't want loopholes we want it gone.

Many petrol cars prior to Euro 4 may still be compliant. I have a 2001 Saab 93 2.0SE Turbo that's fine. It's down to your NOx emissions. TfL limit is 0.08g/km, my 93 comes in at 0.01g/km. The details should be on your Registration doc.

Regarding bikes, I believe the figure is 0.15g/km most bikes should be compliant too. If it's not on your reg doc, check with the manufacturer. Failing that, there's several garages that will do it. Think the charge is around £160. You should get a Certificate of Conformity and then the vehicle has to be registered with TfL. I'll be doing this with my 30 year old Triumph Thunderbird 900 (when it finally gets repaired!).

[stirlingmoss]

If mileage charging is ever introduced, would it be possible to do as Geoff said, register the car to the PM or hated Minister or Mayor, abandon the vehicle, with others on a London Bridge of Motorway etc and watch the carnage..?

[Beatlefan]

My car passes it's MOT on emissions but is not legal in London. It's complete bollocks

[David-ttmt]

What a hoot! Really hope that this works.

[the_punisher]

In Aberdeen there's not a fee, but a fine of £60 or £30 if paid within 14 days for non compliant vehicles, this comes into place in June, how can a council extort money like this?
