This is for everyone who drives a vehicle regardless of type, this a very important message various councils around the country have brought in LOW EMISSIONS ZONES or ULTRA LOW EMISSIONS ZONES if you wish to enter these you will have to pay a charge and if you unknowingly enter them and do not pay the charge you will be informed by the various councils what fine you will have to pay.

The important message is that the mainstream media has at no time publicised what the sneaky councils have been busy doing through lockdown and what other plans they have in store for driving motorists off the road, more information on this subject can be found on the net and YouTube.

They are all well publicised and it’s a good move to cut pollution and bring cleaner air.👍

The modern internal combustion engine gives out gases that will not kill people!These charges are really just a way for councils to top up their income whilst putting visitors off visiting the town centre shops etc.(obviously in my opinion)We could go back to horses and carriages but we dont have the person power to pick up the manure!

It is older engines which pollute the atmosphere and cause harm to people. That is why the most modern engined vehicles are exempt from charges.

Hi has anyone been to Italy recently and if so did you notice any emission charges in general or are they focused on individual areas/ regions

Might be best to ask this question in the Overseas Touring section as not everyone comes to this area of the forum.

There is an App called "Green Zones EU" It has kept me out of trouble this trip. Suggest you download it and see if it does what you require.

DD has a problem with her car and LEZs.

Her Volvo V40 is registered in late 2002, so, according to all the blurb, as it was registered pre 2005, will fail the Euro4 requirement.

However, when she puts her registration number into the checker, it says she is OK for all LEZs in the country.

We are all very confused by this, and she does not want to get a fine. How can she check that she is being given the correct information?

If the website says its OK why doesn't she take a screenshot so that she can use that in evidence in the event of there being any question?
