OTHER INFORMATION
Mobile Phones and Driving
On 1st December 2003, a new regulation came into force regarding
mobile phones and driving. It is now a criminal offence to use a
hand held mobile phone or similar device while driving. The penalty is a £30 fixed fine (or up to £1,000 on conviction in
court). This prohibition applies when driving, which also includes moments
of being stationary (such as at a traffic light or stuck in traffic)
when a vehicle can expect to move after a short while. The legislation also covers texting, taking pictures and accessing
the internet with your mobile phone. Legitimate 999 calls are exempt from this regulation, but only when
it would otherwise be unsafe or not viable to stop. The above is a guide only and you should seek legal advice if you
are in any doubt as to whether any particular action is prohibited.
London Congestion Charging
From February 17th 2003 Congestion Charging began to operate in the
heart of London. The congestion charging zone is bounded by the
'Inner Ring Road' linking Euston Road, Pentonville Road, Tower
Bridge, Elephant & Castle, Vauxhall Bridge Road, Park Lane and
Marylebone Road. The 'Inner Ring Road' provides a route around the
charging zone, and charges apply only to vehicles travelling inside
it. Not those travelling on it. Drivers are warned on roads leading
into the zone, that they are approaching the charging zone.
Everyone (except those exempt or discounted) driving or parking a
vehicle on public roads between 7.00am and 6.30pm Monday to Friday,
in the congestion charging zone has to pay a daily charge to the
Transport for London (TfL) group. This payment allows you to enter,
drive around and leave the congestion charging zone as many times as
you wish that day. Payment can be made via the TfL call centre, via
the web www.cclondon.com, in retail outlets offering the PayPoint
service or in post offices. The charge can be paid at any time up to
10pm on the day of entry into the zone. Between 10pm and midnight a
charge can be paid however the charge increases.
For further information, please ask at your
BCH renting location
or refer to the Transport for London website on
www.cclondon.com or
call 0845 9001234.
Travelling Abroad
You may request to take your hire vehicle abroad with the BCH
Location. Permission to take the vehicle abroad is at the renting
locations discretion and must be agreed prior to your rental start
date and the relevant paperwork completed.
