ULEZ and other similar schemes we are being told are all about clean air for everybody but are they really just a means of making money from motorists?

well based on this FOI request officially only one death in England and Wales in the period 2001 to 2021 had exposure to air pollution (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth revision (ICD-10) code Z581) recorded on the death certificate. https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/ukdeathsrelatingtoexposuretopollutionorpoorairquality Noted the disclaimer that It is unusual for wider contextual factors, such as exposure to pollution or air quality, to be recorded among the causes of death

Tarnished L&K exterior trim and unstable infotainment (automatically reboots)
Is it you that's reserved the L& K ;o) If those are you're only 2 upfront issues and given theyre a main dealer I'm sure they could resolve both before it goes out of the door
