Just because VAG fiddled some tests shouldn't make all diesels
pariahs. I've been a diesel car driver since 1990.

All the measurements made in city centres say diesels are the main
source of harmful pollutants. CO2 not being regarded as a harmful
pollutant in this case.

Next they'll be banning gas boilers. They are not far behind with their
NOx emissions in city centres.

But no particulates.

Think is if you walk past any queue of cars in London, you always smell a
diesel or two. And many smoke if they accelerate moderately hard. Some
older ones, a lot.


So, do what they have done in numerous city abroad - ban cars that don't
or can't display a sticker showing they comply with a minimum emissions
standard.
