Business drivers haven’t been foxed by the London congestion charge extension, with only a small increase in fines being issued, according to Lex. A 6.5% rise equates to 982 fines between 19 March and 19 April.
“Since the Congestion Charge was introduced in 2003, the administration linked to processing driver fines has taken a while to settle down,” said Lex boss Jon Walden. “However, with this zone extension drivers seem better informed on how the Congestion Charge works and that they are responsible for their own fee.”
