My point is that if there are EU propsals that affect the construction and use of motor cars then we would have the manufacturers, the SMMT and the trade magazines on the case whilst the ink was still wet

Well we are doing everything we can, I can't see what more we can do?
Your constructive comments would be most welcome.
The letter dated 07Oct11 from Michael Jose, Policy Advisor, Transport and Environment, clearly states - in black and white:-
"I can specifically confirm that UNECE Regulation 13, E/ECE/324, is not an EU regulation, thankfully. It is an ineffectual part of the United Nation's attempts to be a global regulator for transport harmonisation"
Please don't blame the industry for the failings of your elected representatives!
i dont see how laws can be applied retrospectively old cars spring to mind, if they were made without seatbelts then they dont require them.....yet another grey area for the a frame fraternity!!
Cars produced before or during WW2 had only one tint rear light. They all had to be retrofitted with 2 rear lights.
I know this as our 1948 Hilman Minx only had a central rear light and we had to fit new lights on the rear wings.
So laws are applied retrospectivly if the entail vehicle safety.

Depends what do you mean by safety. Seat belts, high level brake light, disc and servo brakes, Rolls Royce flying lady are just some examples where regulations are not applied retrospectively.
UK number plates must now be reflective and white front and yellow rear for safety reasons. This is not a retrospective requirement. I also don't understand how the Dutch, Belgians and Germans remain safe with the same colour front and rear. As for the French they appear to have a multitude of differing designs for number plates.
I wonder if the UK will come inline with the remainder of Europe in requiring the first MOT at four years and every two years after that?
