So, how might you react if discriminated against, abused and ripped off by a person working at a dealership, repair shop, filling station or insurance company? You\u2019d rightly walk away and shop elsewhere \u2013 preferably with the type of people and at the sort of places that have more respect for you, your car and your family finances.<\/p>\n

More difficult, and then some, is deciding how to react to someone, in this case, Labour politician Sadiq Khan, who\u2019s currently abusing, discriminating against and ripping off countless motorists he accuses of driving the \u2018wrong\u2019 cars which pollute excessively. These, incidentally, are the same vehicles that the UK\u2019s Conservative Government, police forces, DVLA, DVSA and other national organisations officially declare as legal. But this matters not to London Mayor Khan who, as of 29 August, has been fining motorists \u00a312.50 a day, equivalent to more than \u00a34,000 per year, for driving cars he personally disapproves of in his widened Ultra Low Emission Zone. A classic case of megalomania? I\u2019m only asking.<\/p>\n
