It isn't about driving or not driving.
It is definitely about reducing the incentive to drive. The charge needs to be combined with improved infrastructure for public transport and cycling.
If you have a classic car that, is exempt.
This issue is part of the consultation, there is a question on the survey as to whether you agree classic cars should be exempt. Fill it in and say no!

Do you know how many classic cars are used in Central London and what age defines a "classic car"?

I'm a bit more charitable so voted yes on that.
I doubt there are that many pre-1972(?) cars are out on the road on a regular basis. I think there is a value to keeping nice classic vehicles around, and I'd hate to think that a classic bike / car show or ride through London would be deterred or not happen.

It isn't about driving or not driving. It's about the emissions of the vehicle. If you have a "lower" emissions vehicle (anything older than 2007 I think) then you're not charged.

We had a similar discussion in the motorbike thread. I still can't understand what Marvin's issue with encouraging the use of less polluting vehicles is.
Of course you can make arguments for not using cars, but this isn't even about that. It's just saying if you want to choose a car that costs society more and contributes more to damaging people's health and shortening their lives then you need to make a contribution for that choice.
