Britain is to be hit by its first “pollution charge” with owners of large cars
taxed £25 a day to drive into city centres.
</P><P>
Up to a fifth of vehicles, including people carriers, 4x4s and luxury saloons,
will be targeted by an emissions-based charge designed to penalise the
highest-polluting vehicles.
</P><P>
Smaller cars, such as diesel hatchbacks and hybrid vehicles that emit 120
grams or less of carbon dioxide per kilometre, will be exempt. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/driving/article2199172.ece">
