Default Legal challenges and congestion charging for 30 second journeyleaving zone?

Steve writes:
Yes, that was the point of the charge, i.e. to increase the movement of
transport in the zone. To argue that because the road was clear you should
not pay is nonsensical.


So it's not a "congestion" charge then - it's yet another road use
charge. Better tell Ken to change the name...
