Coming back to the autohaters in Rotterdam: the suggestions of the environmental zone is tonight by the city council adopted.

Concretely, this means that gasoline-cars-for-July 1992 and diesel cars of 2001 next year are no longer welcome in the centre of the port city. If you live within the red outlined area, your age hitting a car is not welcome anymore. On penalty of a fine. How high these will be is not yet known.

The purpose of this from Germany copied umweltzone is the improvement of the air quality. And yes, looking for ways to improve the air we breathe cleaner, of course, is totally understandable. But cars review on the basis of date of registration and not to the actual emissions is completely of the pot gepleurt, on z ” n 010’s to say. Now you may, from 1 January 2016 with a Lupo 1.2 TDI (81 grams of CO2) the centre is not in, while a Mercedes G-Class 400 CDI (340 grams of CO2) no particle is laid in the road, to name but two extremes. That is not only curved, it is also completely unfair. Not to mention the fact that every municipality now has its own milieuzoneregeltjes to come up with is. Bunch of damned officials-on-the-job-holders.

The city council wants to continue a kind of fuel-emission sticker for a foreign car’s handling, because it not can be controlled by the fully automatic boetemachine mileuzonecamera’s (even though it is still the question of how they are going to check, because the cams can, no decals read). Further, should the lez be extended with a ban on polluting tweetaktscooters, supplemented with a cash-and subsidiepotje for electric scooters. 67-year olds the only AOW could have a mileuzonevrijstelling.
