I assume they have discovered a magic way to clear the pollution....just by paying!Strange how paying a fee cancels out any pollution caused by a car. Or is that just me being cynical? Again.

Well guys this happened with logical authorities, I doubt I will find the same understanding here though....
There is still the way in justice...we are prepared for it!
The Zed will not leave us as long I'm still alive.

Similar to the smog laws in the People's Republik of California. You have to do smog check every 2 years. At one point cars pre-smog were to be required to have smog equipment added. This in the state where hotrodding started. Of course, those with very expensive, classic hotrods were upset, and it took efforts from car clubs and jot rod builders to change that requirement. The biggest fallacy of the whole smog law was that all city , state, and federal vehicles were exempt. That would mean hundreds of thousands of vehicles could continue polluting at will. A number of news reporters took cars off showroom floors and they failed the test. Failure mesny your car was now a "gtoss polluter" and could not be registered for the road...unless you took it to a "referee station" and paid an additional $100 dollars and received a waiver, which would need to be obtained EVERY year. So, in California, money solved pollution problems...that was 25 years ago, God onky knows how bad it's got since then.I assume they have discovered a magic way to clear the pollution....just by paying!
Just the same all over the world, you can get by by paying.
When I had my business in Gainsborough years ago, one day a guy came through the doors looking all around and when I enquired who he was and WTF he wanted he said he was looking for where I burned waste oil to keep warm in the winter, saying I needed a license from the local authority to do so.
I asked would the council come and put a filter or such on the chimney he said no. Then I told him it was a good job I didn't burn waste oil then wasn't it and showed him the door.

Exactly , same here : "all city , state, and federal vehicles were exempt" + TV news stations cars! Clever find! Why to upset the news reporters?
At the end of the month we will have another protest in front of the cityhall !
Good luck with the protesting Dan and I hope someone sees sense.

I know it's been a while since this thread was last added to, and this is a bit of an old story, too, but it's a fine example of stupidity from some of our glorious leaders. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-bristol-50587738 Seems they may have changed their minds since, but I can't find anything newer about it.

The Mayor says it will come back on this Council decision...we don't trust her (it's a she!) , but on the other hand elections are coming and the Mayor is vulnerable...
Friday is the final combat, we have a meeting in front of the city hall.

The Mayor needs to realise that her re-election could depend on her not alienating you guys Dan. Best of luck.

Bear in mind, you get rid of one idiot, another takes their place. Think it's the law of supply and demand.
The Mayor just anounced the tax will be canceled. Now we have to wait and see if she keeps her word or not. Tax will be canceled in the council meeting next month.
It's clear that this is an election game since she did not miss to say, "if i'll be elected again I promise I will not reintroduce the tax".

Time for a cruise to Bucharest, maybe.
Today , in the city hall council meeting, they cancelled the stupid regulation which kept my Zed in the garage!
Which sound like victory! At least a small compensation in the dark age of covid... right now the recommendation is to stay home indefinitely....
I wish to all Zedders and families good health till we will meet again on the roads! And stay home, protect yourselves!
