Agreed. I'm for it in principle but I don't think it's particularly fair in the current format.

If I was using a van every day it would be essential and worthwhile to change. A lot of people are leasing vans and there was plenty of notice of the arrival of the charge so they will have changed their vans. I don't want to sound like I agree with it but something had to be done and it has forced a lot of the worst offenders to clean up their act.
Overall traffic in London is a massive problem for so many reasons it makes your head hurt to try and sort it out.
They've introduced a huge scheme in the area I live in where only borough residents can drive through some areas and out of borough cars get a £120 fine. There are plenty of angry motorists but more than 50% of the population of these areas don't even own a car.

That's probably why it's a surprise to you. But in London where the ULEZ is, the expansion has been talked about for ages, there was even a public consultation earlier in the year.
