Will this happen?

Someone shared on Facebook a Tiktok video of a woman saying about a "climate lockdown" coming into place by 2024, where you can only drive out your neighbourhood a limited number of times a year and your numberplate and even face will be recognised and monitored so if you break the curfew you will be fined or something.

Is this true or is it just false BS?

To this end, Oxfordshire County Council, ..., wants to divide the city of Oxford into six ‘15 minute’ districts.
In these districts, it is said, most household essentials will be accessible by a quarter-of-an-hour walk or bike ride, and so residents will have no need for a car.

On the surface, these 15-minute neighbourhoods might sound pleasant and convenient.
But there is a coercive edge. The council plans to cut car use and traffic congestion by placing strict rules on car journeys. Under the new proposals, if any of Oxford’s 150,000 residents drives outside of their designated district more than 100 days a year, he or she could be fined £70.
