Re: Law of unintended conseuences
Regarding your post on the Request for comments Request board: This my be anecdotal, pehaps someone can confirm or deny.

I was on holiday in Athens and struck up a conversation with a Greek guy who told me that the government passed an anti-pollution law allowing cars to be used on Athens only on alternate days depending on whether the number plate ended with an odd or even number.

The result was that many people bought a 2nd car, often a clunker with no catalytic converter, so air pollution actually increased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrianFlood (talk • contribs) 14:59, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
