Interesting Congestion Charge story. (Only 10 days left! £5 a time to travel into Central London.)

The US Embassy asked for an exemption from the charge for their diplomats. No dice. So the US State Department are now going to levy a charge on British diplomats in Washington DC. And, this is our closest ally? How are the US authorities going to know who drives into the British Embassy? At what rate will they charge? And, will this money (like the money collected by TfL) go towards improving public transport in DC?
