But are historic registered vehicles exempt like they are in the London ULEZ?
Multiman:
Don’t know about historic vehicles but all motorcycles and mopeds are exempted in the Glasgow scheme.
In France there’s an uproar as all vehicles made before 1997 are grouped into the top pollution class and will be banned from towns over a certain population size. Worth checking if you are going to be touring on a classic in the future.

If I was in France I would leading a revolution by now! :o They considered banning motorcycle on Sunday full stop in Germany, my nephew lives over there and took part in the rallies protesting it.
Trigger:
The Germans have a strange system. If you have a trike, the front indicators must be the full width of the trike. I was stopped in a UVA sandrail buggy and the police asked, were are my window screen wiper's. A bit stupid as it didn't even have a window screen. Then they tried to confiscate the buggy as it was an illegal car on german roads.
I lost count of how many times i was stopped and did not have my passport on me as ID when i was living in the GDR and the west. Off you go to the police cell's until you can find someone to go and get your passport and bring it to the police station and you can only use the phone once. :o

I was there for many years, mum was German a forces fraulein, my dad a tank soldier who stayed on. Promise not to laugh but my first bike was a 'Mofa' ...25km/h moped, a 'Prima Presto'. I got pulled a few times to pay DM10.00 spot fines, riding two up or not using the cycle path!
