Hmmm... interesting.
Not wishing to throw a curveball into the discussion but am I not right in assuming that part of the reason I have a diesel vehicle sitting on my drive is because a certain Labour prime minister made VED rates for diesel vehicles more attractive because they emit fewer greenhouse gasses?
We really are governed by a bunch of incompetents.Comment

If any govt cares about public health, diesels need to be banned, now.Comment

However, it seems priorities have now changed. Is global warming not now number 1 priority in favour of banning diesel cars?Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

this would only happen in progressive UK
can't see this happening in continental Europe
infact on the mainland we all have these green stickers from TuV Nord and as long as you have a modern compliant diesel, and you pay the once only (that means one off/onetime) 15 euros you can drive in the city centers as often as you so wish
GB: Emissions stickers for Germany | TÜV SÜD GRUPPE
it would make sense for the UK to do the same, but I suppose it doesn't produce as much income as the extra 10 pounds a day (every day - nice little earner) charge in London and probably other cities
on the mainland if your diesel is too old to have the green sticker then you can't drive in the center of the cities - how simple is that

anyway, back to the point, it would seem, compared to the mainland, Brits are being done up like kippers again ! on the congestion charge and the diesel scrappage

As a diesel owner I shall wait & see what the scheme entails,
I assume that it’s going to be for the older models only, as there has been no comment that the road tax scheme is to change (as that is based on CO2 not NOX)Growing old is mandatory
Growing up is optionalComment
