coming soon ... all vehicles will be tested for nox while having their nct /crvt .. so if your erg or dpf has been removed your car /van /lorry will fail its emissions ..if you have dipetane or any other emission buster mixed with the fuel it will be detected and it will fail ... rsa are conducting tests at the moment and they expect the nox emmissions test to be introduced early next year

Im sure the anti Rickshaw men are applying to the TAC and the NTA and the PP to see if the motor on a Rickie is more powerfull than the motor on a hoover and if they are then the new hoover motor limits should be applied to Rickies

Ya know a lot of thesense electric bikes have two modes.The legal low power setting and an off road mode with more juice.Very hard to regulate against modified rickshaws.
