Motorists above the law.
The EU is threatening to take the UK to court and be fined for its air
pollution but this only applies to PM10s, which are mainly emitted by buses and lorries. Meanwhile motorists are completely free to emit several other harmful pollutants, some of which are life threatening, and get away with it. One has to ask why the EU is ignoring those other harmful pollutants in favour of motorists, who are 80% of all road transport? -- UK Radical Campaigns www.zing.icom43.net A driving licence is a licence to kill. |

That would be true if it weren't for the slightly inconvenient fact that cars have to have catalytic convertors and very tight emissions test. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk I'm not prejudiced.

So why are cyclists free to emit excessive levels of greenhouse gases? -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk I'm not prejudiced. I hate everybody equally. |

So you posted it as a form of revenge, how strange, No an attempt at balance. Though you will notice I only posted ONE thread not a MULTIPLICITY of threads, all with the same title, like your abusive, cross-posting motorist chums. How was he going to censor you, cut your internet link? By calling on his motorist chums here to flood my thread with abusive off-topic messages in an attempt to render it virtually useless. -- UK Radical Campaigns www.zing.icom43.net One man's newsgroup is another man's censorship. |

Yes but they are only tested once a year and in the meantime can pollute as much as they like as long as there is no visible smoke. -- UK Radical Campaigns www.zing.icom43.net "The car, more of a toilet than a convenience". |
