Default Car ban

Our beloved council are proposing to ban 'dirty' vehicles from the centre of York. No details yet, but it is said to include old buses (the tourist ones are terrible), lorries, vans (that'll be the shops shut then) and older cars.

Just glad I live outside town, and rarely have to drive in. I can't see them classing my 12 year old decat Scoob, or even my wife's 2.5l Volvo as clean cars. I can only imagine they'll have blanket ban on cars over a certain age - it'd be a huge job looking at every model of car.

And a local election is looming - very brave!

I doubt that they are within their rights to do that!

All this 'green' nonsense is really starting to gather momentum now.

But you'll be ok in a Bentley Continental GT of course, even though it puts out 410g / km of CO2
