UK: Register Your Rolls-Royce As A Cab And Shun London’s Congestion Charge!


When there’s a will, there’s a way. Brit site “Cleangreencars” has concluded an investigation concerning a large number of expensive luxury cars that have been registered as private hire vehicles in London to avoid paying the Congestion Charge. All it takes is to pay an £82 ($170 or €117) application fee and £27 ($56 or €38) per year licence, and the owner of an Aston Martin can avoid paying a daily £8 ($16 or €11) Congestion Charge –planned to rise to £25 ($52 or €36) per day for such vehicles in 2008! -Continued after the jump
