No bangers.

[Christopher]

I don't know if these petitions actually do any real good, but if I did'nt sign it and it went ahead I would only have myslef to blame.....and sorry if this has been posted before.



Goverment proposal to ban cars older than 10 years -

So if you own a car P reg or older this could affect you!!

"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

With this sort of logic they will pulling down houses that are more than 30 years old becasue they are not energy efficient.

And why not kill off all the retired people......as they pay no taxes and only boost soup sales and produce methane!

(that last bit was an attemp at humour and not intended to offend anyone before you give me a cyber kicking!)

You clearly haven't thought this through... this sort of initiative could decimate the UK soup industry increasing the unemployment figures by a number of dozens 

[Steve Pyro]

Done.
More stupid legislation for the sake of it.

I must have a look and see if frog residents can sign.  Could be very amusing if they tried that round here - road use would drop by about 80%.

This legislation is a good idea. All smelly useless old cars should be scrapped. I'm not signing the petition. 

[Lorry]

Done.

Where is this all going to end

[geoffd]

I've signed up.

I don't own a car under 10 years old, so I'd be stuffed!

[Lazy B'stard]

Done
If those euro loonies get this through its my living gone as well as my motors. I will be forced to join the le mans pikeys to survive po this involves all of you mot just the old motor brigade! There is more on this subject somewhere on the www.fbhvc.co.uk site

[Dickiex]

Voted.

It about time the Uk government stopped F'ing about with anti car legislation and financed a decent public transport system.  If they want people to stop using cars,  give them a proper alternative.

The older I get and the more I see of politicians,  the more I think we should give the power back to the monarchy.   After all Prince Charles has an old Aston Martin (does the Queen still have that series 1 landrover?).
