I'm sure they're all over, in side streets and areas that are slightly off the tourist trail. I also don't see how being university educated has a bearing on the money you pay for a car. It's all just overhyped crap, it would be very hard to police + just nick a newer numberplate so the ANPR equivalent don't pick it up.

 Re: Paris banger ban

I thought the Kyoto protocol and similar emission targets were global. "They are part of a plan to turn Paris into a Low Emission Zone, cutting emissions by 30 per cent by 2015. Failure to comply with European air pollution norms could see Brussels slap a 100 million-euro fine on France in 2016. "Funnily enough I don't recall mentioning kyoto or seeing it in the article but i did see this bit, so i take that back, it does mention the eu. Just remind me - this was a Telegraph article, yes? EVERYTHING, according to the Telegraph, is the fault of one of three groups... Immigrants, the EU, the BBC. The German Umweltzones aren't all cities - they're very clearly signed where they are.

 Re: Paris banger ban
It was a Telegraph article yes, but i didn't put the link up i just read it. Nor do i read the Daily Heil , but i will concede that i do have a bit of a thing for pointless EU policies; as i said earlier probably coming from the stuff they constantly try to foist on the bike world . I could bore you with some examples, but i probably won't unless you really want me too.  Or the example here on the latest interfering proposal,which, unfortunately isn't a joke viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4350
