Fear over proposals to restrict the use of classic cars
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Reject any proposals to ban or restrict the use of older cars.
An e-petition submitted by Richard Jewell of NA. Note the deadline to sign up is 18th March 2008. Signatures supporting the e-petition at 1st February 2008 were 19,555.
Support the petition at:
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Classic-Cars 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 attendant environmental issues of sourcing raw materials, manufacturing, distributing and scrapping the spiralling supply of new vehicles.
Someone in Local/National & European Government reacting to uninformed pressure . I can see the pre-73 free road Tax going 'in the national interest'.
