Country Concern
In all the discussions over the removal of the leading from petrol (and the atmosphere) there doesn't seem to have been any mention of the difference between driving in the city and the country.
While I realize my leaded petrol car is polluting the air whenever I drive, I feel that when I travel through the country, where you only see another car every five to ten minutes, the problem is not as severeas when traffic is concentrated on city road. Those who want to penalize older, leaded petrol vehicles and their owner doesn"t seem to appreciate that, in the country, there is no public transport to fall back upon. One's own vehicle is the only way to get about. I feel that country people, who often have to travel so along distance to nearest town and who already spend agreat deal of money on petrol, should be treated differently to the people who live in the city.
