Not that subtle! London permits the polluter to pay to continue, Glasgow issues a financial penalty that continues to increase if the offence is repeated ... And the vehicle details are lifted straight from DVLA database, so I have a Fiat Ducato Van, rather than a motor caravan ...
So now you want devolution and joined up thinking
I've never, ever said I wanted devolution
You want things to operate at a national level, you need to implement them on a national level - or at least get the systems talking properly to each other.
Yeah, right. I also found a pile of rocking horse poo outside the local council offices the other day...
There's an even bigger pile of it in that famous street in London featuring a house with number 10 on the d
Aye. Yes it is but my post picture was of England CAZ zones not Scottish and here it is a charge so it is correct.

It's referred to as a Penalty Charge (for having entered in contravention of the Regs); the London ULEZ just charges you to continue polluting, i.e. no contraventionAye. Yes it is but my post picture was of England CAZ zones not Scottish and here it is a charge so it is correct.
But as you bring it up it is also a charge in Scotland according to this website

When I asked Sheffield about their zone I was told the cameras would not recognise my Spanish plates. Been in 3 times now and all good so far, but maybe bills in my letterbox in Spain ?You don't. Not without investigating it yourself, and as @Glandwr said I think it is only Newcastle City Council AFAIK that has a specific exemption registration system.
Does the UK have access to foreign-registered vehicles to know what engine classification they are?
My assumption was if your base vehicle is ULEZ compliant then, at least in the UK, a check on the DVLA website would confirm this? But who knows?!!
So many questions and not enough answers! Quelle surprise... not!
You want joined up thinking then you need joined up governance. Nuff said.
You cannot have both national level (as in UK) and devolution, because the Nation retains ultimate power (and devolution is power retained) in decision making over the devolved government's. In practical terms, a devolved government, left without interference, and acting in accordance with its devolved powers, can, and should reach decisions that are suitable for its population. But that then means that what is suitable for one devolved government may well be unsuitable for one or more of the remaining devolved governments.
That argument only holds water if you believe that there is only one nation in the UK. In practice there are 4 (if you include the youngest England

Not what the legal position says. The working terminology was changed, I believe, around the time of the Good Friday Agreement, but in the various Unions, Wales is described as a Principality, Northern Ireland as a Province, and England and Scotland were referred to as Countries, equal (in theory). But each country is referred to as just that to keep the peace. In theory, UK should be 4 equal countries in a Union. In practice, England and it's politicians talk of a Union of Equals, but retain the powerThat argument only holds water if you believe that there is only one nation in the UK.
