I'm happy to pay for the congestion charge. What I'm unhappy with is the grossly unfair implementation of it.
As I said in my original post, any system that asks you to speculatively pay for something which you don't know whether you've actually used, in order to avoid a hefty government-enforced fine, is a morally reprehensible. I cannot condone any such system existing. It is, quite simply, extortion, and I cannot support its existence. They might as well have said "pay us, or we might come and break your legs".
- rwmj 16y agoThere are enormous signs, on both the surface of the road, and next to the road, saying you are going into the congestion charge zone. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/London_congestion_charge https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/London_conges... If you're so disorganized that you are oblivious to these signs and don't know the day of the week, really you shouldn't be driving a car at all.
- swombat 16y agoI often drive around 7am. How do I know that they're using the same clock as me?
- rwmj 16y agoThey use an "Atomic Clock", by which I assume the MSF radio time signal, so set your clock by the same signal, or buy such a clock for your car. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/helping-you-with-your-congestion-charging-penalty-charge-notice.pdf http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/helping-you-with-your...
