<\/p>\n

A popular automotive influencer has written a novel centred around the creation and expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) which restricts polluting cars from being driven in London.<\/p>\n

Shahzad Sheikh, better known to fans as Brown Car Guy, is a motoring journalist who gained a significant following due to his involvement in the battle against the rollout of the ULEZ throughout Outer London.<\/p>\n

Writing under the pseudonym B.C. Guy, Shahzad noted that the novel, \u2018The ULEZ Files\u2019 is based on real life issues faced by many motorists in the capital.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cThis novel, while entirely fictional, is born from the real struggles and stories I\u2019ve encountered. It\u2019s a narrative that I believe many will connect with, especially those who\u2019ve felt the impact of ULEZ.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy aim was not only to entertain but also to provoke thought and conversation on what the future of urban mobility and personal freedoms might look like the face of sweeping environmental policies. It aims to leave readers pondering the delicate balance between progress and liberty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Set in 2026, \u2018The ULEZ Files\u2019 follows the life of Max Turner, a motoring reporter and YouTuber who discovers a conspiracy surrounding politics and motoring restrictions.<\/p>\n

To help prevent \u2018the war on motorists\u2019, Max helps to raise awareness of new policies that could price drivers out of their cars and other forms of private transportation.<\/p>\n

The story also looks at the impact that driving restrictions could have on residents of London, something Shahzad noted is a very real concern for many opposed to ULEZ.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Shahzad added that the novel is not only an attack on the controversial policy, claiming it is enjoyable for all car enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Much like Brown Car Guy himself, for example, Max Turner is seen on the book\u2019s cover standing next to a classic BMW E30 3-Series from the 1980s.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cBut, of course, it\u2019s also a fun action romp across London, featuring iconic cars, spectacular car chases on the streets of London, explosions and outrageous action against real-world settings.\u201d<\/p>\n
