Something is finally being done to rid the roads of high polluting diesel engined vehicles.
Paris, Mexico City, Athens and Madrid are to ban all diesel engined vehicles within 10 years. Surely other major cities must follow the lead.
The lies told to governments by manufacturers, and perhaps their keenness to find a magic fuel, led to the roads being clogged with filthy high polluting vehicles.
The ticking time bomb, that will in time lead to many of us being diagnosed with lung problems, is the big worry now.
The soot particulates penetrating our lungs and the nitrogen oxide creating low level ozone will lead to huge numbers of people with respiratory illness.
I'm not saying petrol is pure and perfect but it's safer than diesel.
I test drove a Tesla the other week. I went expecting to be disappointed, but came away very impressed. Great, if you don't need to travel more than 250 miles, which is most people and most journeys.
I'm not sure electric cars are the future, but internal combustion certainly is the past.
Saddly……...
