In the meantime, however, on Saturday morning, I will be back at that taxi rank and I still have no answer as to why we are taking a 15-D hybrid off the road and allowing an 08-D to stay on the road. That hybrid is a car the taxi driver bought during the Covid period, before the first extension of the ten-year rule. He feels he is being led up the garden path. First, he fears that it might be extended again next year. Second, he is parked beside a guy who has a car seven years older than his that is not being taken off the road, and his is. The hybrid car is also more efficient.
