I suppose where I am is something like this, I do sort of get it that we have a responsibility to take better care of the planet and should try to.
I think it’s probably good that we should encourage the development and use of new greener vehicles. But, I dislike the penalties now being applied to the use of existing vehicles that met the criteria of manufacturing at the time they were made and originally sold.
By a process of wear and tear they will eventually disappear or become such a small part of the vehicular population as to eventually become insignificant while providing mobility for those who use them for their intended purposes.
In other words, making sure that the next generation of vehicles is less polluting is good, but accepting that there is a transition period during which the older ones should be permitted to be used without additional penalties.
