The thin end of the wedge

the headline:
UK moves towards car scrap scheme.
While I fully understand the need to support industry, how long before it becomes law that any vehicle over a certain age will be scrapped?
I don't have any faith in this so called Government. The more cynical bit of me says that perhaps some minister somewhere has been promised a nice top the range car and bonus for pushing this. :evil:
BobtailBogey:
i totally agree it wont be long till they push it way too far..
Bush Tucker Man:
I saw a Citroen advert on TV last night, & they were offering a £2000 'reduction' for their 'scrapping' scheme
Gordo:
This is a surprise, especially considering the government's desire for 'green' taxation.
Cars produce the bulk of their pollution during manufacture and disposal, and not when being driven around. So this scheme to persuade people to get rid of their old cars and buy new ones is nonsensical.
KingWolf:
Well I'm off to search eBay for some old, cheap motors..... I can see a money making scheme here..... :dance: :dance: :dance:
