I've got a different idea- ban all fossil fuel powered transport inside the south and north circular.

Tourists would love it, as proper Hackney Carriages would return to the streets, and it'd create a lot of employment opportunities for blacksmiths, stable-hands and so on.

And create a market for electric HGVs. The fossil fuel issue is a red herring here - it's the nature of the HGVs that's the problem.

Better liability laws could make the insurance companies make the HGV operators install better mirrors and proximity sensors and care more about only hiring good drivers. Maybe.
