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?

One has to ask why this question is directed at a cycling NG.

Because of a multiplicity of 'Cyclists above the law' threads
deliberately cross-posted from motorist NGs. I am merely trying to
restore some sense of balance. I hope you are not trying to censor me?

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.

A person who is cycling emits more CO2 than someone who is using a bus.
So why are cyclists free to emit excessive levels of greenhouse gases?

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.

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.
