The 2040 ban on petrol vehicles

(1/5) > >>

royhall:
Does anyone know for sure if motorcycles are included in the 2040 ban on petrol vehicles..... Also, when 2040 comes I assume that existing petrol vehicles will still be allowed on the roads.......... Dont think it will affect me much as I will be about a million years old by then, but if they try to phase out existing vehicles that will be the end for classics........This whole thing may also remove our classics free road tax as it appears were a polluting bunch of b****rds......Electric bike anyone? ??? ?

hairygit:
I can't find a definitive answer on that one either. The statement mentioned cars and vans, but no mention of buses, coaches, heavy lorries or motorcycles. Question is, who or what is going to fund road building/repairs, at the moment fuel duty and road tax, but if the revenue from that dries up, bye bye free road tax for electric vehicles?

Don't worry Roy we will be legislated off the road by then when driverless cars become the norm. Anybody who makes human decisions will become a liability to the insurers. we're in the golden age of practical classics (and value) - the only survivers will be museum class vehicles like Vincents

As I read it it is TOTALY petrol or DIESEL cars so Hybrids are the norm from then

But absolutely no mention of motorcycles, so seeing as we are such a minority of road traffic use and pollution bikes may get away with it!
