I did the drive from Reading (West of London) straight to Lyon (France) last week. I was bringing back my daughter ‘s car (a French Renault car, 2 years old, conform with Euro 6 regulations) to sell it in France. The reason is when you have that type of car, you can’t keep it in the UK (we changed the front lights, added the light for fog on the rear left and right side... but they say, it’s not enough ... you have to change the whole dashboard to display mph instead of km/h.
My daughter had to buy an old used English car... that is already stopped for maintenance in a garage (and that has an high CO2 index)...
My Daughter who works in a German company based in London, said as a ‘foreigner’ she will have to pay a tax to stay. As half of the company is not ‘pure UK citizen’ the boss will have to pay the tax for its employees...
UK had the £, the mph, driving on the left side, the inch, the yard... even the pint ! Not mentioning fractions to express numbers, UK did not sign Schengen agreements to have full control on borders... and now they want to leave... well... yes, I think it’s about time !
I suggest the first European Law to be voted is to stop any car that would drive in Europe with the steering wheel on the right side of the car... just as a fair start...
