PM hints at help for diesel car owners over 'toxin tax'

I think we need a credible alternative before a scrap allowance.

Apparently the tax will not be introduced in London until 2019 at the earliest and Euro6 diesel and Euro4 petrol cars will be exempt. At least for a few years. So good news for new car owners this year, because they will not be toxin-taxed.
Somehow they will have to implement a numberplate recognition and automatic billing system in many cities for this to be a viable policy. Not sure how that is going to work, because I only visit a big city once in a blue moon, and there are probably millions like me. All will have to be centrally billed somehow and either an invoice sent to the registered keeper, or a direct debit with everyone. Its not a trivial exercise.

This only applies directly to owners of older diesel and some petrol cars but all may consider their position against the spread of penalty fees for entering cities if you drive an ageing diesel car. See:
https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/stop-toxic-taxes/ and make up your own mind. I threw in£10 to help clip Sadiq Kahn's growing wings!
