I believe we owe Stephen Hammond a few drinks. The doubters will likely say 'I knew it would never happen', but I for one am breathing a sigh of relief at the outcome. Result.

And yet I watched the debate live online in the EU parliament building months ago and heard the proposers say they never had any plans to do this anyway. The new regs were all to force newer member countries to bring their MOT equivalent testing standards up to a reasonable level, not to stop car modifying or force classic cars to remain bog stock..... ^^ This!  Politicians and activists 'saving' us from something which was never going to happen is the oldest political trick in the book - so ably parodied in "Yes Minister". ;D David |

That Tory-graph article is from just before Christmas, I won't be at all surprised if this becomes very big news this week while the Government are fending off criticism of the child benefit changes. |

The Legislation was never intended to prevent modification. All that has happened as a result of the 'pressure' is to continue to allow shonky, poorly maintained and potentially dangerous vehicles -from EU states with low criteria (or zero) annual inspection rules - to drive on the public roads, including here in the UK.

Its my understanding to be legal over here they must comply with our regulations though, just because you can drive with the cords showing in the tyres at home doesn't mean you can do the same here.# |
