ULEZ is straight up "poor people go away".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/101st_kilometre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/101st_kilometre achieved with "environmental" means.
- chgs 2y agoExcept the cheapest cars you see on autotrader are ulez compliant, and the cost of the car is dwarfed by the cost of insurance.
- leoedin 2y agoIt really isn't. I've got a 13 year old Toyota which is ULEZ compliant. I bought it for £4k in 2020. My previous car - a now scrapped Fiat Panda from 2007, was also ULEZ compliant. I bought that for £900 back in 2015. Obviously car prices have been changed by covid - but there are loads of compliant cheap cars available. It's also only limiting driving within the city limits. You're free to drive anywhere else. Hardly totalitarian.
