New government plan threatens Minis

[i:6z0px1re]Wednesday 1st April 2009[/i:6z0px1re]

A new government incentive looks set to cause controversy in the Mini scene, as older cars are once again under pressure from environment officials.

The latest proposal is to force a mileage ban on cars registered before January 1984. This will see many classics, including Minis, to have mileage limited to just 2,000 miles a year in a bid to cut the UK's carbon footprint.

The bill, entitled 'limited mileage, limited pollution policy', has been proposed by Helmut Schnauzer, a German environmentalist and world expert on climate change. In a press conference on Monday in Coventry, Helmet revealed more about the bill.

He stated that "the 'limited mileage, limited pollution' campaign will revolutionise the car industry, allowing government agencies the right to remove old cars from the road by limiting their usage. Lowering the number of 'heavy polluters' from the roads will improve society as we know it."

Helmut insists that the new legislation should be introduced on 1 January 2010, and at which point government and police officials will have the power to remove offending cars from the UK's roads without dispute.

Motoring groups have already hit back after the plans were announced on Monday, suggesting that older cars are likely to be clocked to avoid being destroyed, and that we should be preserving classics rather than forcing them from our roads.

1 april.
