EU plans to ban vehicles > ten years old from the road!

<< < (6/8) > >>

land-def-90:
have signed but why on earth would they make you scrap a car that has passed an mot which involves an emisions test it would be total madnes

datalas:
The fact that it would be madness isn't I fear a good enough reason for them not to do it,  however,  it would also likely be political suicide for anyone that tried to impose such a ban and therefore I would be highly sceptical about whether it will ever be enforced.

I wouldn't be too shocked if we weren't "saved" from this scheme by a much better plan to charge us a "old car European get out clause tax" which is done as a concession to our unreasonableness by our lovely governing types...

Me?  cynical ?  nah...

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
As mentioned already, economic suicide. Yet another reason to back away from Europe, and let them get on with it.
It seems to me that a lot of these rules and regs that come out of the hole that is called Brussels, don't appear to be enforced over there. We are the only mugs that sit back and take this. :evil:

BrumLee:
Why does this government only pick the EU laws that cause the public to panic  :roll:  I don't see them trying to rush the same laws through for extra public holidays, even Ireland get more than us and we speak the same language  :roll:  :roll:

datalas:
because it's smoke screen tactics, whilst we're runnign around trying to keep the right to drive what we chose where we chose they get to do stuff like this..
