“It is clear why this is done, for many reasons: old cars are not environmentally friendly, not safe. That is, formally - all the reasons are there, ”the expert explained.
At the same time, he emphasized that in Russia the average age of a car is 12.5 years.

“They acted in our country when the recycling program worked. When it was proposed to hand over the old car and get a very serious discount on the purchase of a new one.
