Yes, it seems car drivers seem to be the cause of all traffic ills

of buses, taxis & minicabs. Which is probably why Kahn wants to
extend the congestion charge to the north circular (hopefully
exclusive, not inclusive). I have no problem restricting cars in
the central area, but taking it that far out is just taking the
**** and simply a cynical money raising scheme.

I thought Khan only wanted to extend the clean air zone to the
north and south circulars, not the cc zone:

Thats even worse since anyone who lives inside the north circ and has
a car older than 10 years (I think) won't be able to drive it!

Under the current plans, residents will have an extra 3 years (until
2023) to comply with the emissions standards.
