So it looks like the government is going to try and effectively remove older vehicles from the road.
They've created a sneaky consultation on this huge change with an end date of only the 6th of September.
They want to have a yearly emissions check on every car and motorcycle on the road AS WELL as your MOT.
If you pass the MOT but then go to your emissions check, if the vehicle doesn't emit exactly the same emissions as when it was built the car will be banned from any use on the road even if it passed its MOT emissions.
This will effectively destroy a majority of the car industry as car tuning and modification will stop you being able to drive your car.
This is targeting all vehicle, cars, motorbikes, trikes, kit cars etc.
So far they are just targeting cars after 2001 but they want to use it on every vehicle on the road targeting mot & tax exempt (historic) vehicles.
They've purposely not given this consultation much time, so please go to the bottom of this page, tell them you do not want any of this from the government and share the consultation for others to do the same.
Only possible way to stop this would be to get the results of this consultation to be a resounding NO! The whole survey needs to be completed - don’t skip to the end as they try and nudge you to do.

Today we learned that a good summer is a greater national security threat than mass uncontrolled immigration into the country.
and...
BBQs cause wildfires, not good summers.
Got it.
Other countries with FAR warmer weather than us manage to keep the hosepipes running and the grass well watered.
Britain has become a pathetic mess, and I absolutely detest that fact.
I won't support any Prime Minister, elected or otherwise, who pays billions and billions in foreign aid, while people in this country who are working a full week are struggling to pay their bills and while pensioners are choosing between food and warmth.
Social care is on it's arse, the NHS is on it's arse, we don't have enough defence, we don't have enough housing, we don't have enough prison spaces and the kids have no oppertunities.
Foreign aid should only be paid in times of crisis, it's not within our remit to support the entire third world when we are unable to support ourselves.
It's basic common sense.
Andy Burnham is apparently going to scrap digital ID initiatives on Monday. He knows how deeply unpopular this is; he needs to try to win over the public for the time being.
But digital driving licences are still going ahead.
You can be sure that digital ID will be back soon in another form, with another reason to try to coerce the public into accepting it.
Digital ID is the line that must not be crossed
A timely reminder that Andy Burnham used to refer to Theresa May as an “unelected PM” after she was crowned leader.
We should refer to Andy as an unelected PM from next Monday.
Does anyone else believe the fact that not one single MP put their name in the hat to become PM only goes to show it was the plan all along for Andy Burnham to become PM.
We are being gas-lighted.
He has been placed not chosen.
We no longer have democracy in this country.
I am married with a young daughter, both myself and my husband work.

Why should someone like me, vote for someone like you? @UKLabour@andyburnham
What are you offering my family?
