I am sure that I have seen on here that Hackney Carriages are exempt from the London Congestion Charge. I seem to remember that the thing to do was get the letter saying that you owed, then return it pointing out that the vehicle is a properly licensed Hackney. I've tried loads of searches but can't find the right thread. Can anyone point me the right way please. Thanks in anticipation. |

Thanks to both of you, I have already gone through this. There was a thread where someone sent in a reply to the fine notice and the fine was waived. I seem to remember there was even a reply from TFL quoted. Any help apreciated. |

London cabbies are, rest of us are not. |

Maybe CtF is thinking of the time Skippy confused the bus lane fine with the congestion charge

Some nice folk took a picture of me going over one of the bridges and said I must pay for crossing it I told them to feck off as it was a taxi, and if they care to look at the sign on the roof and the plates on the front and back of my car they will see this If they had any further problems with this they could contact my council and be told to feck off for the second time no further action came about |

Maybe a phone call to TFL asking for clarification may be a good idea. |
