Driving in the capital of Scotland isn't difficult compared to London. Most residential and shopping streets have a speed limit of 20mph. However, Edinburgh records over 900 road accidents annually, making it the second most dangerous area in the country for driving. Edinburgh's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) came into force on 1 June 2024, and a few central streets are off-limits to private cars, including Princes Street.
A Low Emission Zone (LEZ) is in operation in Edinburgh. It was introduced in 2008 and covers most of Greater London, including some sections of the M1 and M4 but excluding the M25. The purpose of the LEZ is to discourage the most polluting diesel vehicles from driving in London. Unlike the ULEZ, which doesn't operate on Christmas Day, this zone is enforced all year round. How much you pay depends on your vehicle - it can be between £100-300. Find out more in this guide.
Driving in cities like Edinburgh puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Edinburgh for all these crucial components.
It's important to promptly take care of a chipped car windscreen because it could develop into a crack. The good news is that, as long as the chip is small and you catch it early, you can book a car windscreen repair, which is cheaper than a replacement.
Check out our ultimate guide to windscreen repairs to learn more.
For a repair, the chip must be smaller than a £2 coin, at least 3cm from the windscreen's edge and outside the driver's line of sight. You'll need to book a car windscreen replacement if the chip doesn't meet these criteria.
Replacing a broken car windscreen can be simplified into four steps. First, a protective covering is placed around the windscreen area, and the seals or glue that holds the glass in place are cut from the car. Next, a primer agent is applied to the framework, and the glass is replaced. You should use professional car windscreen fitters for this job.
