"I picked it up because it looked interesting and I thought it might be something of importance.

"Then I saw it was a school report, so I put it in my bag. When I got home and looked at it I couldn't believe what I was reading - some of it was scandalous."

So it's okay to read a confidential document that you have no rights to read?  And then go and tell it all to the media?  The woman seems like she was breaking the law there.  :roll:

Surely the enviromental cost of manufacturing of a new car is alot greater than keeping an existing car on the road for another ten years.


Over half of the lifetime emissions of a modern car are before it leaves the factory.  We should be legislating to keep older vehicles on the road, not keeping them off.

I think its called 'offender profiling'. Its been going on for years. Think about it. We've all seen posters asking us to keep eyes out for 'suspicious people or activities'. This is just the next step. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying its right. Just another part of state control and the modern day and age which we unfortunately live in.

The scheme will crack down on cars that produce toxic substances such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxides (NOx), unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and tiny carbon specks known as particulates. These products are linked to breathing problems and cancers.


 :(biglaugh):


Seriously try finding an internal combustion car engine that would comply with the above. They really shoud read what they have writen as that paragraph is a load of verbal diorea. :smack:


And given the emissions from producing electricity and grose inefficency of batteries then electric cars shouldn't be allowed either.
