Default Government petition condeming diesel car penalties.

You are probably aware of EU proposals, supported by Boris Johnson, plus the three main political parties, to price older diesels and pre 2006 petrol cars off the road. There are 35 million motorists in the UK and many of us feel that this is just another knee jerk revenue raiser, plus an aid to further 'New Car Sales'. The problem is that there is no single body fighting our corner.

Therefore, I have started an E-petition on the Government website, which, if a certain number of signatures are reached, will force a Government debate.

The link is:- http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/68377

There are at least three 'Topics' already on here, covering this subject, with most subscribers agreeing that it is unfair. If you agree with the wording of my petition, I would be grateful if you would sign it, to show your support. It would also be helpful if you could pass the link to like minded friends and colleagues.

Roverite.

Thanks - done

It would be nice if everyone here signed it, whether driving a diesel or not. Part of what makes this club so great is that members look out for each other.
