German transport minister Andreas Scheuer reiterated his opposition to labelling older diesel cars with a sticker (“blue badge”) to better be able to enforce possible driving bans, reports news agency dpa. “I continue to reject the blue badge and thus general driving bans,” Scheuer told journalists in Berlin. The federal state of Baden-Württemberg is currently holding talks with the federal government in preparation for driving bans for older diesel cars in the city of Stuttgart.
