• Would you be surprised if it rained?

    People have been talking about emissions zones coming into force since at least 2010. If you live near a large city in Europe you should expect to be within an emissions zone at some point in the next 5yrs paying a charge similar to the inflation linked cost of the original congestion charge fee.

  • I’m in Northern Ireland. No word of them here - yet. We don’t have the infrastructure for electric cars here as yet either. I’m in a town of around 50,000 people and there are about six public charging points - and that’s a lot compared to other places.

  • I wouldn’t be surprised if it rains, we get plenty. Maybe a surprise for you?

    Various small French towns have just outright banned highly polluting cars.

    Rouen is about 100k people and you now can’t drive a diesel pre 2006 at all and from Jan it’s pre 2011 I think.

    It’s right on the route to Le Mans from the tunnel so the villages around are going to be treated to lots of noisy old British cars passing through now.
