Petition - Reject proposals to ban/restrict use of old cars!

Post by MarkB » Fri Mar 14, 2008 11:36 am

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.

It would make more sense to ban/restrict new cars.

It would make even more sense to ban politicians and other 'two hats' in power.

This green movement is all propaganda. I haven't forgotten my biology. Plants love and thrive on C02. Seems to me that there is some sort of food shortage agenda going on here!
