Law Proposal: Importing vehicles older than 8 years

So, the current rule is that no vehicles older than 8 years are allowed, problem with that law is that it is very unfair to those who value classic vehicles, they are locked out. Think e.g. concour d'elegance. Apparently, the reason for that law is to prevent beat cars from entering the country (safely, emissions). Going to extremes is easy, but finding a balance is more difficult, but with a balanced law, a win win situation will be created. The proposal is to amend the law so that it still fulfills the initial intention, while this time, not locking out those that value classical vehicles. The new law will be a balanced law, but a balanced law requires work, to think things out, hence the reason why going extreme is easy, as it is with the current law, that simply states, no vehicle older than 8 yrs is allowed. To amend the law to meet the above specifications could mean that old vehicles are allowed, but are taxed just high enough that one who just wants to get a cheap old vehicle will not see the point, they'd see that it will be better if he or she just gets one that is not older than 8 yrs, on the other hand, those who value classics, will be willing to pay because they know what they are getting, besides, the classic car will be from leisure cash. A win win win situation will be created, a balance. - The classic car person will be satisfied his or her classic vehicle. - The normal vehicle buyers will be protected from getting an older vehicle, by The individual seeing no point of getting an old vehicle, when a newer vehicle will cost just as much, maybe even cheaper than a highly-taxed older vehicle. - The government gets to collect tax on classic vehicles. They tried to bury us, they didn't know we were seeds.

Is there aspects of eating that can be incorporated into that law? If yes, then you can start lobbying the relevant authorities.... Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune - Jim Rohn.

Years back,the law allowed for 6 year Jap/Orient mikebes,12 years for European cars and 14 years for American machines. Why not go that way? Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
