Drivers waking up to 'laughable' £90 fines after they obeyed rules A driver has been slapped with a ULEZ fine - despite having a compliant car. One social media user posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, to vent their frustration at being handed a £90 Ulez fine, despite claiming to drive a compliant vehicle. A Twitter/X user fumed: "Been given a £90 ULEZ fine by @TfL for driving a ULEZ-exempt vehicle into London. Laughable exchange on the phone where I was told I could have “switched my reg to an exempt car after getting the fine”, despite of course a basic car check showing the plate hasn’t changed vehicles. "Submitted a screenshot from their own @TfL website showing my car is exempt, but that isn’t good enough. They want a copy of my logbook, copy of my number plate certificate and a letter from BMW to prove my car is exempt from ULEZ. Crazy right? @MayorofLondon" Article continues below READ MORE UK faces 'five day' mini-heatwave next week as BBC Weather issues warning The motorist added: "What’s more is I can’t actually submit any of these documents online, I have to submit an appeal to London Tribunals - but they don’t accept anything @TfL online so I need to fill out a full postal pack. Bloke from TFL asked “do you want to just pay the fine?” … no" They added: "I’ll conclude this rant by saying I drove into London in October last year and @TfL have only just got round to replying my first line of contact explaining the car is exempt from ULEZ. So confusing. But safe to say they’re not getting £90 out of me, even if it kills me" A TfL spokesperson told GB News that it was sorry for the "incorrect charge", adding: "We receive updates from the DVLA on a four-weekly basis, ensuring we have the latest data on vehicle compliance available. "However, there may sometimes be customers who have swapped private number plates who find that their new vehicle is not included in the latest update and will unfortunately be registered as non-compliant until the following update a month later.
