I really have no idea why these clowns want to charge motorcycles too, given the fact that motorcycles are excempt from the current congestions zone for obvious reasons:

I think now is the time MAG and BMF to stop stupid roundabout wars and start doing SOMETHING, you can also raise your voice here, and soon or later that bright idea can and will reach your small town too, so better say something now:

Here are details about it, in fact motorcycles have a somehow relaxed requirement to cover only Euro 3 emissions standard compared to Euro 4 for cars, means any motorcycle sold in EU after 2007 will comply anyway:

It's called money. They want more of it and see motorcycles as moving £ signs.

Rather than admit this they dress it up in environmentalism so it is harder to object to it.

Motorcycles were not made exempt from the congestion charge because of their size.
they made them exempt because of the lack of front number plates and most of the cameras are front facing.
nothing to do with size or emissions, just an inability to catch Bikes at it.
