| Title: | They make it up as they go along!! The MET Police is just one BIG joke.( info in description. ) |
| Description: | Engine idling law: what are the rules? To reduce the impact of harmful pollutants, there are laws to discourage drivers from idling. Stationary idling is an offence under Section 42 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. The act enforces Rule 123 of the Highway Code, which states: "You must not leave a vehicle’s engine running unnecessarily while that vehicle is stationary on a public road." Can I get a fine for car idling? If you’re caught idling you could be hit with a £20 fixed-penalty fine under the Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) Regulations 2002, rising to £40 if unpaid within the required timeframe. Fines can be as high as £80 in certain areas of London where there are additional measures to cut emissions. Islington Council mounted what's thought to be the first crackdown of its kind on vehicles churning out ‘unnecessary pollution’ in 2014 and then again in 2016. In 2018, Westminster Council launched its #DontBeIdle campaign in an effort to curb idling in the city. Wales has also introduced fines for idling, and its rules extend to drivers leaving their engines running in stationary traffic. The Welsh government is also proposing Low Emission Zones and fines for drivers with high-polluting vehicles as part of the Clean Air Bill. Along with the laws on idling, the government has also introduced other measures in an effort to improve the air quality in the UK. This includes cutting speed limits on motorways. A higher tax on diesel cars was introduced in an attempt to reduce nitrogen oxide, and in 2030 sales of new petrol and diesel cars will be banned. It’s thought that speed bumps also contribute to emissions, so new forms of traffic calming are now being considered. |
