Motorists could face £20 spot fines if they leave their engines running while stuck in traffic.
Traffic wardens will be able to issue the penalties - after a warning - in a bid to cut down on pollution.

Exactly. lol. It's just some office bods, sitting in their chairs all day, getting paid stupid amounts of money to come up with shite ideas like that, but have no idea about cars, or pollution, or even traffic! meh

This country is run by retarded cunts

Yep, they'd rather pay people for this, than fix our current problems with the country.

But in theory, there just going to make more traffic jams by stopping people in the middle of the road and giving them an on the spot ticket. So their trying to solve a problem, with the same problem.

i think the government need a phat cockslap, they spend so many billions of pounds of tax money on aid for other countries like Africa and such, but tbf, think they need to spend it on our own country and sort it out.
We pay so much tax because half of it goes elsewhere, to countries that didnt want the British Empire anywhere near it. Can fack off imo.

Heard about this a while ago, tbh I don't see much coming of it.
"So sonny jim I've been sitting here while you've been at the lights watching you leaving your engine running polluting our beautiful world for a whole 5 minutes now tbh thats out of order...."
"Sorry mate this is a geewhiz.." *note to self forget debadging, gewhiz badges ftw*
Have fun traffic wardens.
