Goverment proposal to ban cars older than 10 years

Yep, you read it correctly - it's another hair brained scheme by Tony and his Cronies...

 

"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, distributing 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 you'd 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...

 

 

Sign the petition below if you want to be able to take 'your old banger' out and about on the public roads without restrictions
