From reg plate to verdict in seconds
We look your number plate up on the DVLA database and read its fuel type and Euro emissions standard, then apply each zone's published rule. London's ULEZ rule is: petrol must be Euro 4 (met by broadly all cars registered from January 2006), diesel must be Euro 6 (broadly from September 2015), and fully electric cars are always compliant. A non-compliant car pays £12.50 a day to drive in the zone.
