EU Anti tamper law plans

[Pat]

I think it's just for bikes registered after it becomes law.

Not quite true ... The French have approved a law banning all bikes older than 7 years from city centres on emission grounds but they haven't yet implemented it.

Not quite true....  :lol


They've approved legislation allowing cities to ban cars produced before 1998, coaches & lorries produced before 2001 &  bikes produced before 2004 from their city centres on an experimental basis & AIUI 8 cities are introducing such bans from July this year.

The reason for the different cut-off dates for different classes of vehicles is that it's to do with when they became liable to meet the various Euro emission laws.

So in reality this has nothing at all to do with anti-bike legislation, it's to do with reducing air pollution in large cities (like the London Low Emission Zone), the only reason it applies to newer bikes than cars is because we got away with not having to meet the stricter emissions rules for longer than cars.
