Blood on the streets

Well what I'm talking about is licensing access.

Those licenses being part vehicle standard, and part driver standard... both are needed to fulfil the licence.

And then access to central London (or whatever the defined area is) requires a licence.

And then for ALL vehicles above a certain class (LGVs, HGVs) that are not licensed are excluded from London at ALL times. And fines using the ANPR cameras are automatically issued for every day that a vehicle enters without a licence.

And then for the licensing system to act as a control, checked annually (because the driver and vehicles need to maintain the licence), to limit and restrict the volume of such vehicles on the roads.

That's basically the proposal.

Which would be totally ignored by all foreign registered lorries.

I think you need physically present enforcement- traffic police, basically, rather than issue a fine based on a number plate that goes straight in the bin when it arrives in (say) the hauliers offices in Lodz.
