friends,
One of the leading Dutch newspapers carries a story on present and 
future limitations to Dutch traffic, related to reduction of pollution. 
The article states: ..." It is expected that  the exemption of  road tax 
will be dropped for the heavy polluting classic cars of 25 years old and 
over. These are sometimes imported from American states where these 
vehicles are banned because of their high emission of dangerous and 
polluting gases."
I intend to write the editor using the arguments that I've read on this 
forum a few times when similar nonsense was aired by American 
politicians, but can anyone tell me whether it indeed true that 
old/classic cars are not allowed on the roads of certain USA states?
Thanks in advance
