- Oxford introduced a £5 congestion charge for passenger cars in the city centre.
- Exemptions include taxis, emergency vehicles, and delivery vans.
- An ox-drawn cart is not considered a 'motor vehicle' under UK law, thus exempt from the charge.
- The legal definition of a motor vehicle requires mechanical propulsion, which an ox does not provide.
- Vehicles like three-wheeled cars or light quadricycles may also be exempt but could still be charged due to number plate scanning.
- Public availability of UK legislation allows for transparency and easy access to legal definitions.
