But I would say that that is a rare occurrence (although it still doesn't help you, I admit).

9 times out of 10, it is purely voluntary on the part of the car driver as to whether they drive in the congestion zone - Londons public transport system is much better suited to large numbers of people using it than most other (if not all) British cities.
