All safe in the knowledge they'll be sat firmly on their gold plated pensions by the time someone else has to sort it out/break the news to people they've been conned 

[Rangie]

Bicycles then..😂

[Sir Tigger KC]

Pah we're streets ahead of them as the UK will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.... which is only seven years away, but still five years earlier than the EU! 

So when the mad rejoiners demand a single tangible benefit of Brexit, there's one right there!

by 2035 the UK will be like a remake of Mad max 
but with rain

There will thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of people who will do their utmost to hang on to a vehicle with an ICE. A good portion because they have no way of charging at home and a good portion of stalwarts who refuse to be dictated to. I can see rebel workshops springing up all over the country, where vehicles are kept alive by any means necessary, from fermenting home brew type fuel to manufacturing parts no longer available. All well and good. The unpleasantness will start when the government try to tax people out of their vehicles, which is why we should watch out for them trying to implement a digital currency. They could just take their tax from your digital account, along with any fines incurred.
Jeeez.......I'm starting to sound like Gollum

Mad Max remake, will have to get some tips from my friends son as he was a stunt man in that (also in the remake of The Fall Guy)

[Raeturbo]

As long as my Vectra lasts me out, i don't give a shit. I set a very low bar.

Seems the most likely scenario.

Yep
I'll be rattling around in the last of the V8 interceptors V6 Omegas 
powered by distilled potato fuel 
There's already loads of oddly dressed weirdos to be the "baddies"
just visit your local shopping center ,they hang around outside 

As long as my Vectra lasts me out, i don't give a shit. I set a very low bar. 

Much worse "cars" on the roads than the Vectra

Makes you wonder if it's worth keeping an eye out for a decent old diesel that can run on veggie oil. 

Something like this for example.

My daughter's neighbour has a dog that looks exactly like the one from the Mad Max film, really evil looking bastard but as soft as shit.

Veggie oil prices have doubled , and growing enough veg to make your own and refine it is hard
black diesel is an option ,though I imagine everyone will be burning black diesel in their diesel heaters to keep warm
