Country Concern

In all discussion over the romoval of lead from petrol (and the atmospher) there doesn’t seem to have may mention of the different between driving in the city and the country. (Thesis)

While I relize my leaded petrol car is polluting the air whereeverI drive, I feel that when you travel through the country, where you only see another car every five to ten minutes, the problem is not as severe as when traffic is concentrated on city road. (Argument 1)

Those who want to penalize older, leaded petrol vehicles and their owners don’t seem to appreciate that, in the country, there is no public transport to fall back upon and one’s own vehicle is the only way to get about. (Argument 2)

I feel  that country people, who often have to trevel  huge distances to the mearest town and who already spend a great deal of money on petrol, should  be treated  differently to the people who live in the city. (Recommendation)
