This may well have been posted before, but i cant be arsed to look and i intend on going to bed, so here goes





Banning/restricting cars over 10yrs old. This is on the .gov website too.

"Several EU proposals across the years are dangerous to the classic car movement. One that has been under consideration is to ban the use of cars older than 10 years. Similarly, Edinburgh City Council is considering the banning of cars over 15 years old from the town centre. These, and similar, proposals directly threaten the classic car movement, and encourage the manufacture of new cars, with the attendent environmental issues of sourcing raw materials, manufacturing, distriuting and scrapping the spiralling supply of new vehicles."

You'll be banned from using the roads and only allowed to take the vehicle out having obtained PRIOR consent from your local council.. I.e youd have to plan your route in advance and inform the council for approval who may then decline the whole thing or certain aspects like perhaps if you wish to pass through a city centre etc

Signed that before....

Don't they realise that its far more environmentally damaging to keep making new car than it is to recycle old ones?!

The greater emmissions from even pre-cat cars are still negligible when the resources for building an entire new car are taken into account


And new cars are shit

 

Where is the evidence that this is proposed?
