The Porsche dealer is just outside the emission zone so you can get there. So many garages in the city centre are losing business now because people can't take their cars there. And many people can't drive their clasdic cars there. i am living outside the emission zone but I only have to wait 2 years. Having said tgat, I never go into Rotterdam by car. The subway is far better.

Ad no we did not, but we should! I live in Blijdorp. Anyway its a lot of politics and nothing else. I think it will be in place for a year and then probably they going to change the rules again (i hope) its quite expensive for the city and it will not change anything in getting beter air here...
Again, i am not against better air, i hate the way politics use it to do marketing for them selves. D*cks.

But I would like to propose a place to meet sometime. I am allowed to enter the city in my 1999 Audi TT roadster "baseball" edition also known as "Mokassin".

Then again radical leftist authoritarianism is what the people of Western Europe vote for.
Not to say we don't have our own issues across the pond.
I just hope the UK votes to leave Europe in June, because this and many more regulations are being spewed out by Brussels . Obama came here recently trying to co-erce the UK population that it was better to stay in the EU. ! It only made people more determined not to, when he said that !

Vote exit.
Unelected bureaucrats have no business setting policy in sovereign nations.

Well eh, thing is: its not a Dutch or even an European law. (Europe law could prevent this).
This is a Rotterdam local plan, thats why its so crazy. I do nothing wrong if you look at the Dutch law.

All it takes is arrival of one large ship into port of Rotterdam and all passenger car related pollution savings are insignificant marginal tinkering. Banning 928's is same as preventing all ships from coming in unless they run on LNG.

We need to be "clean" nowadays and run on Low sulphur fuel (MGO) in EU ports.

What's really ridiculous is all this worry about an historically small rise in temperature over the last 100 years. It was hotter during Roman times than it is today. Over much of earth's history, there were no polar ice caps. (We're still in the Little Ice Age that started after the Medieval Warm Period. Earth's temps have not yet fully recovered from their decline at the start of the ice age.)
Human activity didn't cause the warmth of Roman times, nor did it cause the Little Ice Age, but we're supposed to believe that human activity (after decades of environmental laws restricting air pollution) is now to blame for a slight rise in temperature and that, this time, the rising temperatures bode ill rather than good fortune? Nor did human activity cause the measured rise in temperatures on mars. Hmm, what could cause temperatures to rise on earth and mars (and elsewhere in the solar system) at the same time? Answer: It's NOT my SUV!

Cars run so cleanly now I don't see why there haven't been stricter laws on ships. They are the real polluters, not a few old cars.
They are the reason that Los Angeles has bad smog; along with other port cities like Rotterdam.
