2nd July 2019 - Putting a coin in the electric meter

Thought for the day :"I only drinks on days that start with a T - Tuesday, Thursday, today, tomorrow"

Had a note from a friend in Germany this morning regarding the sad death of Erik. As you may be aware I had some coins cast for Vollsanger as a special currency for Mythodea - Vollsanger - Die Ganze Woche da / Here all week.

I had a message this morning via Facebook Messenger..

I can only say that I am touched..

Commemoration to be Saturday 6th July ....

In other news...

Today the news contains information that it is to be illegal to have a silent electric car - they will have to make a noise so they do not knock blind people over...

From 1 July 2019 all manufacturers must install an acoustic sound system in new types of quiet electric and hybrid electric vehicles to improve road safety.

From 1 July 2019, all manufacturers must install a system in new types of quiet electric and hybrid electric vehicles. Sound generators will produce a specified level of noise when they are reversing or running below 20 km/h(about 12mph). The sound generated will be similar to that made by a conventional engine and can be temporarily deactivated by the driver if judged necessary.

The new regulation to make acoustic systems within electric vehicles compulsory will allow those who are visually impaired to hear vehicles more easily. The news comes ahead of the one year anniversary of the government’s Road to Zero strategy, which has helped to achieve record levels of ultra-low emission vehicles on UK roads

However - other problems also occur

Of course - keeping the carbon footprint down is laudable..

But one questions the use of diesel generator to charge Australian Cars

Or this ??

It is a Green One !!!

Cheers !
