London One Step Closer To Banning Cars Older Than 2005 Model Year

London will take another step towards banning older diesel and petrol-powered private cars from the city centre when the proposed Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) is further discussed next week.

A second 'stakeholder' meeting is expected to reinforce a proposal to ban diesel cars that don’t meet EU6 emissions standards or petrols that don’t meet EU4 from the central Congestion Charge Zone.

"We announced last February the intention to introduce an Ultra Low Emissions Zone in 2020 for central London and we have been working towards that goal since," says TfL.

Talk about the nanny state gone wrong. So, if you're poor in England you're banned from driving into the city center because you cannot afford a new car. Pure idiocy.
