22cm? bloody hell how many can get through 8.66 inches? I've checked with a house door - impossible and that's without outdoor clothing
I've just done a test with a house door wedged with a gap of 22 cm & I got through, albeit sideways, & then I realised that the gap included the door handle.

However, I couldn't do it with my smartphone in my back pocket as it could have damaged the screen.

I've also done it wearing my outdoor jacket & that was a tight squeeze but I got through with the phone in my jacket pocket.

This new rule today makes London a no go area for so many people, not everyone can afford to buy a newer car. I keep waiting for Scotland to follow their daft ideas. I love my old car and couldn't afford to change it to a much younger one, she's a great old bus and doesn't let me down, lots of the big 4x4s are older cars 04/05 and not just up here. £12.50 is a lot of money each day just for having an older car,and living in any borough in London.
I don't believe it will make all that much difference anyway, just freeing up the roads for the rich.  :boo:

Most actually living in London boroughs are well off and will have compliant vehicles. The zone has been extended and it's people living in rural counties surrounding Greater London who work in the extended area that will be hit as well as those actually living in the extended area. It is probably a forerunner of what will get rolled out nationally.

A lot of cars are passing the the ULEZ emissions test.. I think diesel might struggle..  It is down as far a Sutton now.. and Reigate have notices up that ULEZ is on it's way..

Older diesels are the biggest group of failures. Most were probably bought initially because the Labour government at the time were encouraging a switch to diesel to reduce CO₂

Yes, I'm bored most days at the moment, but it was a challenge as well.  :grin:
