Re: End of Life Vehicle Rules
The ads were off to the side for me and out of the way, might be they didn't bother to check the design is readable on mobiles.
As for daily mail bollox, I did get that feeling.

Re: End of Life Vehicle Rules
It has to be bollox. The article suggests 'existing rules for cars could be applied to motorcycles' or something like that.
I'm fairly sure I've never heard of anyone's classic car, or just old car for that matter, being forcibly recycled against the owner's will.

It did read like conjecture. There wasn't any actual fact in the article that could be linked to.

Re: End of Life Vehicle Rules
There Could be some hard facts in that article and given time I Might be able to find them but there was an awful lot of conjecture and half arsed suggestion.
Reads like The Telegraph where a headline says one thing that stirs up the gammons and the article says something totally different.

Re: End of Life Vehicle Rules
End of life rules in cars have existed for ages. Like 20 years ages.
They're not applied retroactively.

Considering how many of you hate the Daily Mail you all seem very familiar with its editorial style! 
It did seem to be a lot of what ifs and maybes though?

That's because the regular purchasers of it never stop telling everyone what's wrong with everything....by repeating what they've read in it...verbatim.Taipan wrote: Sun Jun 08, 2025 11:41 am Considering how many of you hate the Daily Mail you all seem very familiar with its editorial style!

Re: End of Life Vehicle Rules
I love a bit of the DM, comments section even more so.
Occasionally something I've worked on appears in there, Nuclear Subs and Olympic Bikes spring to mind, and of course these days a simmering antiEV and antiRenewables agenda. The level of outrage and wrongness is sheer comedy.
