If it goes as planned (which I doubt) then this would destroy basically every outdoor hobby I have. I like to ride vintage motorcycles, and have got my eye on a 30 year old camper van. Most of my weekends are spent camping in some field or other making new friends and socialising with like minded people.
Sure, petrol might still be legal, but with no demand from new vehicles, how long will it continue to be available. It certainly won't be affordable - as soon as a decent proportion of voters are no longer affected by petrol prices, duty will skyrocket.
My personal feeling is that if this is the direction we're going in, we might as well just go the whole hog and outlaw human drivers too. At least that way you get the safety and traffic flow benefits that come with every vehicle on the road knowing what every other vehicle is doing.
Whatever they do, they'll take my bike when they prise it from my cold dead fingers.
