• 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.

    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.

  • Looks like they are banning crit-air levels 4 & 5 from late December, which would still allow Euro 4 diesels from 2006 as they'd be a crit-air 3.
