Good Luck.
Drivers in central London will soon face $30 fine if they sit in traffic without turning off their engine. Authorities want to reduce amount of pollution in England's capital city. The fines could start on May 1. Throughout April, traffic wardens in London district of Westminster will ask motorists to turn off their car engines if they are not driving. If people do not follow their advice, new law will start. The fines are because local residents and businesses complained about air quality in London. Westminster has second highest proportion of deaths from air pollution in Britain. spokeswoman, Heather Acton, said: " council is committed to improving air quality in Westminster."

Ms Acton told reporters about importance of keeping people moving on roads and reducing air pollution. She said: "Motor traffic plays important role in keeping our city moving, which is vital for its economic prosperity. We want to raise motorist awareness of impact engine idling can have on environment, with air and noise pollution affecting overall health." Not everyone is happy with new fine. Institute of Advanced Motorists warned that people could see fine as "revenue-raising exercise". It said traffic wardens should focus on "old buses, coaches, large trucks, utility company vans or taxis idling for long periods" and not on energy-efficient cars.
