“Vehicle pollution fee” or “Stop poor people from driving fee.”

Putting aside the fact that the fee should be scaled with earnings - it's almost like as if cars weren't that good and there was a viable alternative called public transport. Metal boxes on wheels cause cities more costs then this fee will ever give back. Having a car costs a lot and if you are poor and have one it only keeps you in poverty. If you want equality then we can ban all driving in city centers - I am all for it.

Yes. You are so right. Having a means of transportation is clearly the reason they are being kept in poverty. Based on your reasoning capacity it couldn’t possibly be anything else. Good call.

It's definitely not helping them get out of poverty. Driving a car in London is basically asking for problems.
