But the problem with:
but confine them exclusively to “tomorrow’s” vehicles.
Is that tomorrow becomes yesterday in two days time.
Thats true...
But as you know with all motor vehicles, mot rules, or if your vehicle is checked, new rules apply from the date the new rule was implemented..
I've a few old vehicles, the regulations only apply (in the main) to the rules of their time.
On a similar note our new next door neighbour has just had their house rewired because the wiring did not meet the 'standards'
But there was actually nothing wrong with the wiring because it only had to comply with 1960's standards.
But there's also nothing wrong with 'tampering? ' with the installation to bring it up to modern standards and the resultant certification of such.
If the same applies to motor vehicles..
Today's vehicles will be updatable to modern standards, whilst post 'new rule' vehicles may well have to be left original or fitted with only approved parts, much like the aviation industry.
Which in turn will be the new norm and be accepted as such I suppose, much like all new rules..
The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number
