Man may have to sell home and car and quit job after driving into clean air zone

A man says he may have to sell his home after driving into a Clean Air Zone (CAZ) 30 times without realising. Clean Air and Ultra Low Emission Zones charge drivers for entering certain areas in a bid to cut pollution.

Henry Franklin says he drove into a CAZ 30 times after getting a new car, and was hit with thousands of pounds in fines before he knew he had done anything wrong.

Henry drove through a CAZ in Bristol while commuting to work in February and March and getting £4,000 in fines was the first he knew of the fact his car would trigger penalties. He now drives around the CAZ - creating a much longer commute and much more pollution, reports BristolLive.
