Stuff About Cars

I was quite pleased to see that legislation has been introduced that will shift the cost burden of scrapping cars from the driver to the car makers.

This story (click to read) tells how scrapping a car properly can cost the owner up to £50. A new scheme means that the car manufacturers will now foot the bill.

The idea is that if owners don’t have to pay to scrap their vehicles, then fewer cars should get abandoned in cities, towns and rural areas. If cars should are scrapped properly, there is an opportunity for a large percentage of the component material to be recycled.

I hope it works. The idea seems sound to me.
