Just like here at home, there are large stalls for non-approved cars in environmental zones. However, the British are also increasingly trying to avoid paying a fixed fee.
Most of England's capital London is an environmental zone. A zone that millions of drivers have to pay to move in every day.
Specifically, it costs 12.5 pounds, equivalent to 109 kroner, to move in and out of the so-called ULEZ (Ultra Low Emissions Zone, ed.) for 24 hours.
A large number of motorists with cars that do not meet the environmental requirements are trying to avoid this with a creative twist.

Specifically, several Britons now say that they buy a magnetic sheet which is placed on the number plate to cover one or more letters.
The small magnet costs £50. This corresponds to just under DKK 435.
In this way, the ULEZ cameras cannot take a picture of the car in question. At least not an image that could result in a charge.
The advantages of the magnetic leaves are that, from a distance, they actually just look like a leaf that has become 'stuck' on the front number plate due to the wind in front of the car. The police will typically not react to that.
This is what a large number of motorists say in various forums when they talk about their experiences of avoiding the fixed ULEZ tax.
In London, since 2019, it has been the case that diesel cars that do not meet the Euro 6 norm and petrol cars below Euro 4 standards have to pay the 12.5 pounds to drive around the city every day.
According to the BBC, the city council in London earns up to a quarter of a million pounds every year from drivers paying to get in and out of the city.
