Green number plates
Drivers of electric and hybrid cars could be given green number plates which could give them special privileges on the roads.
A badge of honour if this goes ahead, every Tom, Dick and Harry will want one. Sure is clever marketing by the government to boost sales of electric cars. https://www.express.co.uk/life-style...ars-privileges |

You mean naive?
Building any car causes pollution just not in my back yard. Sounds a bit like when cats were just starting to be fitted on cars , where the manufacturer would place a badge on the rear of the vehicle with the words catalytic converters emblazoned on it to impress the driver behind you or neighbour. Still pollution at end of the day. Last edited by Lovel; 16th May 2019 at 06:32.. |

Well apart from the use of BUS LANES, EV users seem to already have most of the privilages mentioned in the article.

And when all the bus lanes are full of (electric) cars? Or how about - these are the bus lanes that many councils won't allow motorcycles to use?
How about this, I'll go and see how my rover adornment on my numberplate is looking? Or perhaps should I go and 'console' (consolation) a lawyer on my latest legal problems? What a pile of drivel - badly written (outsourced? lol), padded out with an explanation of the current number plate system. As for the actual idea. It's so daft and divisive that it'll probably happen, and no-one (apart from a few ev car users) will be able to tell the difference... Until 90% of cars are in the bus-lanes and the rest of the road is mercifully clear Does anyone think they'll still allow ev cars in the bus lane then? Where can I get green plates made up.... in a smiley of course....

All electric vehicles should be fitted with a beeper that is audible at 20 metres away when traveling at less than 30mph, I have nearly been run over twice by the things, look, listen and look again and there it is ...
Better still a V8 sound that emits from a huge speaker on the roof |

What utter w&@king c%ckwash.
Our numbskull leaders treat us with utter contempt. One can only hope the tide will turn.

Would this be the same Express newspaper which, every September, tells its readers that it is going to start snowing in October and continue non-stop until March?
