Motoring

Drivers of older and more polluting cars entering central London will have to pay a daily £10 emissions surcharge from 23 October 2017, on top of the existing £11.50 congestion charge.

Drivers have been warned not to wait until their MOT to find out if their car needs attention after a Government road casualty report showed 1,830 accidents last year were linked to vehicles being unroadworthy.

The price of fuel is at an 18-month high and experts have predicted that the cost of petrol and diesel will rise yet further this month. But there are manoeuvres you can make to drive down the price you pay at the pumps.

Motorists will now pay less for fuel at many supermarket forecourts as Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons have all cut their petrol and diesel costs.

Motorists have been spared a rise in fuel tax after the Chancellor announced he would freeze the duty for the sixth consecutive year.

The cost of car insurance policies could rise by up to 25% in 2016, according to the AA, after 20% rises in 2015. But there are ways to lock in a cheap price now, even if you're not at renewal.

Drivers filling up at Asda and Morrisons will pay under the £1/litre mark for petrol from today as the supermarkets lead the way in the Christmas price war.

Motorists won't be forced to pay more in road tax if their vehicles are found to be fitted with illegal software used to cheat emissions tests, the Government has today confirmed.
