StreetFilms: A London Driver Discusses Congestion Pricing

In this StreetFilm by Nick Whitaker, level-headed London motorist Barny Crocker talks about how congestion charging has effected London traffic and his own driving habits:

“There was massive resistance to the congestion charge when it was first brought in but as soon as it came in I think everyone was quite surprised at how effective it was.”
