First I get £50 fine as I went in the congestion charge zone a couple minutes before it finished (that'll teach me to set my clock more accurately).

Then I've just got another £50 for stopping in a box junction (due to a huge traffic jam) when my exit was blocked. There's a bloody bus next to me, and four other cars stopped with me....

That is harsh though.

I hate driving in central London.

If I ever have to go there I just get the train to Paddington then tube to wherever.

I doubt i'd drive a car if I lived in London. Although the underground can be stupidly busy sometimes.

Makes you wonder why londoners keep voting uncle ken in doesn't it?

He's raising congestion charges and the associated non payment fines too now isn't he?

Glad I don't work there anymore....

Why? He broke the law. (Sorry Tim not digging at you) If your exit isnt clear then you dont enter the box.

Being a delivery driver i'm always getting stuck in no end of gridlocks caused by people blocking junctions.

It's a little bit 'by the book' though don't you think? It was only because the traffic suddenly came to a stop. I know I technically broke the highway code, but I don't think you'd ever get pulled for it if you did it somewhere where there wasn't a camera.

What will they do next -- go round checking for people leaving their engines running while they jump out the car to post a letter?
