There's been one of those doing the rounds ever since the e-petitions thing came online lol


economic benefits of increased classic car ownership
Not sure about that argument though - surely buying new a new car every couple years puts more money into the government tax coffers than the parts bill for a ~30 year old car would in the same period?

I'm all for it - sort of, as the car/s I want are mostly all pre-73 anyway lol - but I doubt anything will happen.

Sadly a complete was of time as any British government loves tearing a new bum hole in motorists

[TeddyThom]

Signed it for what it is worth

Have any of the e-petitions actually gone anywhere yet? Or are they just a waste of bandwidth dreamt up to make us think we are in a democracy?

They need 100k signatures and then get 'debated' in parliament afaik. Last time this came up, it was brought up but the general response was 'no'. lol

I know how the work but wonder if anything had even been properly debated?

Depends what it is I guess, if someone submitted the solution for world peace and they all went "actually I see no issues with this" it'd probably go through (and we'd have world war 3 within a month)

If someone manages to get 100k signatures on "everyone in parliament should wear a different silly hat" then probably not.

Not collecting tax off of motorists falls into that 2nd category lol
