Government Does It Again!!

[Cruiserhead]

Dear Members

Well it's finaly done, the new law curbing Emmission Control has come been implemented, this will come into effect from the 15th of July 2008.

Does anyone know of the limits these emmissions are tested, will each vehicle be tested in its own class or as per the original emmissions of the year of manufactur or specs given by the manufacturer.

This decission is a big hit for Diesel vehicle owners, Min. Patali Ranawaka states that no vehicle will be issued with the revenue license if they fail the test, is this test a one time only or is the owner given a chance to rectify the problems.

If NO, what are the implecations, does it mean the poor bas**rd has to throw his vehicle into the sea and travel around in a sorry excuse for public transport, what of the sorry bas**rd who has spent his life saving to own a vehicle he bought second hand and over 10 years old? Will the government give him a subsidary to by a new car that complys with the so called Emmissions rates? Do public transport vhicles also fall in to these testings? NO...Why? Why are indivuduals and private citizens with the right to live or the right to own a vehicle been taken for a ride.

This I belive is another scam to suppress the common man who enjoys his last specles of freedom, Is it fair by the people that persons who they sent to the big seats; drop such a heavy burden on the common man?

Is not their own escort vehicles that rush around spewing thick black smoke without cares to the environment.

My fellow citizens this out cry is of a simple common man who enjoys owning his only vehicle, who can't afford big money to higher pruchase brand new vehicels and I'm sure I'm not alone. Isn't it time the decission maker hear our concerns? We need to address this...

How? when? where? is something we have to look into...

Cheers
