Almost a year ago the government announced new initiatives for people to buy “greener” cars. In the UK, cars pay no registration tax and cars emitting less than 100g of co2/km pay no road tax.

In Malta we pay anything between a few hundred to a few thousand euro to have the car registered (or else it’ll be confiscated... by the way is this not discrimination?) and a road tax varying from €100 to €202 yearly. And never mind the unbearable state of our roads which are now proven to be of a lesser standard than those of Zimbabwe’s! Seems as if the only green initiative by the government and the ADT is the smell of €100 notes.

Well some things don’t ever change, do they?
