 COUNTRY CONCERN

• Thesis
In all discussion over the removal of leaded vehicles from petrol (and
atmosphere) there doesn’t seem to have been any mention of the difference
between driving in the city and the country.
• Argument 1
While I realize my leaded petrol car is polluting the air wherever I 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 roads
 COUNTRY CONCERN

• Argument 2
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.
• Recommendation
I feel that country people, who often have to travel huge distances to the nearest
town and who already spend a great deal of money on petrol, should be treated
differently to the people who live in the city
