There will soon be a $30 fine for London drivers if they do not turn off their engine. It wants to lower the amount of pollution in the capital city. The fines could start on May 1. In April, traffic police in the area of Westminster will ask motorists to turn off their engines. If people do not follow their advice, the new law will start. Local people and businesses complained about the air quality. Westminster has the second highest rate of deaths from air pollution in Britain. A Westminster spokeswoman said: "The city is trying to improve air quality in Westminster." 

The spokeswoman spoke about the importance of keeping people on the roads and reducing pollution. She said: "Motor traffic plays an important role in keeping our city moving, which is very important for its economic development. We want to raise motorist awareness of the result of engine idling can have on the environment." Not everyone is happy with the new fine. A motoring group said people might think the fine is a "revenue-raising exercise". It said traffic police should fine "old buses, large trucks…company vans or taxis idling for long periods" and not energy-efficient cars.
