    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.

        Soap is not a grave concern for pollution. What got it banned - at least where I live - was the occupation of public space and consequent danger for circulation of other cars and pedestrians.

        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

              I’m sorry, but are you getting your information on the effects of car detergent on the environment from an advertisement!?!?

              Remember when those dish detergent ads were washing oil off birds? THOSE BIRDS STILL DIED ANYWAYS

                An advertisement from the official government thing over here. It’s the governments own official website.

                Stop freaking out over some dude online you’ll never meet irl.

                Collect yourself and go offline for the day, maybe try to relax for a bit and breathe some outdoor air. Have a conversation with a neighbour or local shopkeep.

                    Does the content and veracity of an ad change depending on where it is? Either you trust the source or you do not.

                Another one.

                Go outside, have some real human interaction and learn to get over yourself.

                Log off for a couple weeks and see if you can become a real human boy once more.

                  First the blatantly incorrect assertion. Then the clueless fumbling to justify it. Now the generic ad hominem attacks.

                  This is better than a movie… what’s next?

                    They’re just trolling. There are many stupid people out there but this one is just too perfectly stupid to likely be real.

                    If they aren’t trolling… I feel sorry for them.

      illegal to wash your car out on the street because it pollutes the ground.

      If you have a rainwater sewer, you’re basically pouring soap and oil straight into the nearest river or lake.
