Here at home, the scrap metal premium that drivers can get is relatively modest. It is different 'fierce' in England.
In England, the capital London has even more against motorists than is the case in, for example, Copenhagen.
Here, it costs up to 108 kroner every day to go in and out of the so-called environmental zone, which covers most of the city and the surrounding area.
On the other hand, the British are now increasing the scrap premium when it comes to cars that are not allowed to be in the 'ULEZ zone'.

However, not everyone thinks the London government's pursuit of motorists is equally admirable. Among other things, Britain's conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak calls the rules in London 'anti-motoring'.
On his "X" profile, the Prime Minister emphasizes that the car remains important to many British families. That is why he also intends to crack down on several anti-driving laws across the country.
Sunak also relaxed another ban last year. Now the British can drive around in new diesel and petrol cars for a little longer. Read more about it here .
