Been here before, see the thread I started:

Its not about vehicles, but that could be next indeed.
The link on that site re-directs to another site that has taken a cutting from elsewhere.
Very little of that data is accurate or indeed "official".
A better appraisal and more detailed accuracy is generally available from the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs, this is a very large and professional organisation representing a significant majority of classic car, motorcycle and MV clubs here and in the EU. If anyone is on the ball, they will be. To quote, and note ". . . .ONE politician":

Good news from Europe.
Heard the one about the politicians wanting to get us off the road? Well perhaps it’s time to think again: the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favour of an amendment to the EU Road Safety plan that supports the protection of the right to use historic vehicles.
