London Mayor Sadiq Khan, has expanded the ULEZ – Ultra Low Emission Zone – to cover the whole of Greater London right up to the M25 in some places, from 29th August 2023 (See first pinned video below), making London the largest low emission zone in the world.

It’s crunch time; make or break; the final countdown; zero hour; D-Day; moment of truth; the last stand… make no mistake, hold no illusions, be in no doubt – this is it.
The elections for the London Mayor happen this week on Thursday 2nd May 2024. And incumbent, Sadiq Khan is vying for an unprecedented third term in office as the most powerful man in London – some would argue, the most powerful person in the nation – he who controls the capital, controls the country?

With the election just days away, I discuss the potential changes that could affect motorists not just in London, but nationwide. From car taxes to ULEZ expansions, I explain why this election could serve as a critical referendum on the freedom to own and drive cars. Whether you’re a car enthusiast, a daily commuter, or simply interested in the intersection of politics and car ownership, this video is a must-watch as we approach election day.
My full coverage from today’s Last Anti-ULEZ Expansion Protest (27th April 2024), ahead of the Mayoral Elections happening this Thursday (2nd May 2024). In this video we have Key Discussions and talk to representatives of the Conservative and Reform parties. This is a long video, so I’ve broken it down into chapters, listing the interviews and segments, so you can go directly to what you want to watch. It’s an important video and you need to watch this before deciding on who to vote for this week.
The BIG QUESTION in this video – why is the UK is still imposing draconian car and driving restrictions when we already hit NOx (nitrogen oxides) reduction targets TWO years ago and SEVEN years ahead of the deadline?!
It’s a win for common sense! Some roads in Wales will revert to 30mph following backlash at the Welsh government’s £34m default 20mph policy, after a petition with nearly half a million signatures expressing anger at the scheme in September last year.
In this video I explore how China is gearing up to dominate the global automotive market, shifting from local saturation to massive international exports. As Chinese manufacturers ramp up production and buy a fleet of ships, what implications will this have on global industries and economies? Join us as we analyse the strategic moves that could reshape the auto industry and discuss the environmental and economic impacts of this major shift.
Prepare for major changes on the roads as draconian driver licence restrictions roll out, and EVs get slapped with London’s Congestion Charge starting in 2025. The rising costs of driving are dampening the driving spirit, and potholes continue to wreak havoc on our vehicles. The battle against motorists is intensifying, and it’s set to escalate with the upcoming government changes.
Has new car design lost it’s way? Is it stuck in a rut? What is going on with the new Alfa Romeo Milano? Why is there no exciting cars around me on the A40. Yet there are some spectacular cars out there, but not enough. What are designers missing? Why aren’t they pushing the boundaries of car design, especially with the advent of modular EV drive platforms?
In the countdown to D-Day, the Mayoral Election on 2 May 2024, it’s time for a major ULEZ Update covering the Green Insurer’s survey on what people think of schemes like ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone in London) and CAZ (Clean Air Zone in Birmingham), plus the sudden infestations of Bat Boxes on ULEZ Camera poles thwarting maintenance staff from restoring vision to cameras that may not longer be functioning properly (courtesy Batman!) and I provide updates on all the events planned between now and the election. Whether you’re directly affected by the ULEZ regulations, interested in urban environmental policies, or keen on understanding the broader societal impacts, you need to watch this.
