I'm not sure who the Association of British Drivers are, so I'm not sure
how
much to read into this.


It's hardly news. Anyone working in transport/telematics already knew
that Livingstone had issued an edict that the lights across London were
to be rephased to cause congestion prior to the introduction of the
congestion charge. In fact I stated this was what was happening here at
the time and had the usual cabal of ****wits and some who should have
known better screaming that it was a lie.


If the idea was to make congestion worse when they monitored congestion in
the run up to the introduction then reset the phasing after to make things
look better it didn't work well considering all the reports like this:

Despite a slight dip in traffic entering the city congestion is as bad as it
ever was, so it's £8 for what exactly?

Can you please tell us where you have hidden the control London? We
could use it for so many other things.

Thankfully there is only one, can you imagine two of the hell holes? Hence
why we are using historical figures, from which there have been no
improvements as were promised.
