This question inspired by this post..
I love how nowadays they made it illegal to wash your car out on the street because it pollutes the ground.
Like motherfucker where do you think this dirt goes to when it falls off the car while driving?
They should outlaw cars to fix this.
He said can’t wash on the street which implies you can wash on the driveway which will immediately spill into the street.
I suspect the law is more of a safety law created after some teens were hit while washing their car and the parents demanded something must be done.
It’s illegal to wash on the driveway or street over here. Well, technically not, it’s just illegal to wash it in a way without proper waste water disposal, which means that you could put up a water barrier (think kiddie pool) to collect everything and then dispose of it properly.
Rain water drains usually don’t go to waste water treatment, shit might get in there from ordinary use but there’s no need to put all kinds of random detergents and polishing agents and whatnot on top of that. Also at least on the Autobahn they have separate rain water channels to catch all the tyre microplastics etc. And if you can afford a car that’s worth washing you can afford going to a DIY washing place stop whining.
We have safe cleaning detergents, the government agencies themselves claim it’s the dirt hence a reply to their claim
