Default Robbery of car owners

Just wondering if anyone knows of any company that can retrofit a catalytic conversion, that would allow us to stop the robbers, who are getting more and more by the day, who charge for entering ulez zones?

Think you will struggle to get the car de-listed for the ULEZ charges even if you modify it.

I think you would only be exempt if it was converted to electric and re-classified as such, I bet you could get it done for maybe 20k

We have to travel to the QE quite often and normally use the M6, Aston Expressway then A38 through the underpass, from now on I will sit with everyone else on the ring road or go down the M5 to the A38 and back up to the hospital.

All these LEZ's are simply keeping me out of anywhere that applies them.

I feel sorry for the people living in the catchment areas who have or will have to change their cars because of some greed tax.

Personaly, I think these idiots are cutting the throats of shop keepers in Birmingham, and the shopkeepers seem to have had no say in the implementation of these areas. Mind with people buying on the net more, perhaps it does not matter. Funny isn’t it how all these safeguards to your health? Cost money for someone else to spend for you. I know I for one am never spending any money in Birmingham city again.

It's ALL about money. It has nothing to do with health. Leaded fuel was removed because of the lead but they replaced it with the shxt Unleaded that has more harmful carcinogens in it than Leaded ever did. It's strange when you look into childhood asthma, how the number of suffers have increased dramatically since Un-leaded fuel was introduced
