Title: This could be bad news for us!
Post by: Pete McCue on September 1, 2026, 17:52
It seems our treacherous government's war against the motorist is set to continue. They have very, very quietly put out a public consultation on revised emission regulations which could adversely affect us all. What they are aiming to do is tighten the emission levels such that a vehicle, regardless of age or mileage must attain the same level of emissions as it left the factory! Now, I'm sorry, but even the best maintained cars with 50 or 60k miles are unlikely to still match their factory levels of emissions! The consultation document is here: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/t/x-QHYJB7/ I have filled it out and submitted stating that I disagree and that the current MOT levels are sufficient to keep heavily polluting vehicles off the road. They want us off the road!
