While I realize my leaded petrol car is polluting the air
wherever I drive, I feel that when you travel through the country, where you
only see the another car every five to ten minutes, the problem is not as
severe as when traffic is concentrated on city roads.
Those who want to penalize older, leaded petrol
vehicles and their owners don't seem to appreciate that, in the country, there
is no public transport to fall back upon and one's own vehicle is the only way
to get about.
I feel that the country people, who often have to travel
huge distances to the nearest town and who already spend a great deal of money
on petrol, should be treated differently to the people who live in the city.
