ULEZ Crackdown

Reported by Ross Lydall. I've explained this would be the outcome to quite a few people who have boasted they would refuse to pay ULEZ. Hopefully the funds raised will be channeled to new cycle lanes and LTNs. Ulez crackdown: bailiffs have seized more than 1,400 cars of drivers who have refused to pay @SadiqKhan ’s clean air levy. More than half have been sold at auction, helping @TfL to generate £25.6m in income from unpaid debts in the last year.

Your congratulations may be premature given the amount of unpaid ULEZ fines that the inept Khan is now having to employ bailiffs to collect.

On behalf of all cyclists I sincerely congratulate the anti-ULEZ fine-dodging idiots for their generous contributions to cycle lane construction in London.

And in winter when the nights draw in and it gets a lot colder,you will be able to play 'spot the cyclist'in the same vein as 'where's wally',as they will be rarer than rocking horse droppings.

Keith Iddon ● 34d

Need I say anymore? No; case closed.

Cycle lanes

Paul Campbell ● 34d

And where does all the revenue that has been earned from congestion charging  and ULEZ get spent on? Does anyone know? The state ofLondon's road infrastructure with endless potholes still around everywhere; where is all this unwelcome extra tax revenue being spent on? For anti motorist, Khan, I see he recently steps out of a gas guzzling range rover recently when was at a football match.

Ah yes. I guess it’s trying to make its runt mayor appear taller and more articulate and more in control.

Steve Taylor ● 37d

Not feeding Steve, baiting and further exposing the paucity of his fantasy-based 'observations'.

N V Brooks ● 37d

Don’t feed the TROLL

Steve Taylor ● 37d

Which cities are these, or just another sweeping generalisation?

N V Brooks ● 37d

TfL can only manage their jurisdiction. Other cities have been let down by their politicians while Londoners benefit from braver ones here.

Paul Campbell ● 37d

‘This sounds very good news for our polluted atmosphere.’Not if non-compliant vehicles are being auctioned off to be used elsewhere.

Get yourself an SUV. Very comfortable, safe and a pleasure to drive. You can be Queen of the Road, Janice.

Steve Taylor ● 37d

My neighbour's is an 03 and much more comfortable than my car.

Janice Evans ● 37d

They probably had their cars from new and thought the car would outlive them, that's why elderly people are still driving them, plus they are morecomfortable apparently.

Janice Evans ● 37d

Worry not Julian, he's forgotten his meds again.

It’s like the ghost of Pemberton doing a flounce

Julian Pavey ● 38d

Indeed LoL. Love to see you anti-ULEZ folk getting schooled.

Paul Campbell ● 38d

LOLSay no moreTala

Julian Pavey ● 38d

Not ruling out bailiffs in the future does not mean he is unaware of bailiffs operating in the past. Grammar and complex concepts like time are also very confusing for anti-ULEZ people.

Paul Campbell ● 38d

Look you wazzockhttps://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/london-mayor-sadiq-khan-bailiffs-tfl-unpaid-ulez-fines-b1181694.html

Julian Pavey ● 38d

Now I understand why anti-ULEZ people think you have to be rich to buy a bike.

Paul Campbell ● 38d

The crappy old bangers were worth less than a grand each.

Paul Campbell ● 38d

"helping to generate" - most of the reclaimed money came from forcing the anti-ULEZ idiots to pay their fines. Less than £1m came from seizing and auctioning vehicles from those who wouldn't pay. It's easy to read things wrong then the facts are uncomfortable.

Paul Campbell ● 38d

Total fabrication. In no one's world did the average non-ULEZ compliant vehicle fetch over £18,000 at auction. So many gullible people out there who will believe anything that meets their narrative.

N V Brooks ● 38d

Yeah that's right. Definitely nothing to do with you being confused. Anti-ULEZ people do seem to be very easily confused.

Paul Campbell ● 38d

Then the mayor knows nothing about whats happened already

Julian Pavey ● 38d

I think you’re a bit confused.  They’ve been going after these fools for a lot longer than that. One idiot had to settle £16k in fines. Ouch. Great example of FAFO for the anti-ULEZ Facebook warriors. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/16/tfl-seizes-vehicles-drivers-ignore-london-ulez-fines

Paul Campbell ● 38d

That was quick. Only thirty days ago the mayor was talking about sending in bailiffs after revealing that Transport for London is owed almost £400m in unpaid Ulez fine. The dept is getting higher and baliffs could be a consideration. Baliffs,auctions,30 days ? I think this ross guy has got confused with ULEZ fines and council traffic fines.

Julian Pavey ● 38d

This sounds very good news for our polluted atmosphere.
