I bet VW are breathing a sigh of relief that the lax european regs are not going to require an upgraded cat unlike the US.

The USA has had "in use compliance testing" ever since I can remember.
I seem to recall that there was a bit of a scandal here in the UK some years ago when some authorities started roadside tests and were fining people for vehicles failing the test, when there was no way for the owner to know whether they were actually committing any offence, a totally unacceptable situation. Some people had only had MOTs done the previous day or 2. It was stopped fairly quickly.

Just so we're going to get some Ballance.
Hears the extract from the BBC website for a little comparison what may surprise you...

"Diesel-powered trains like the one I commute on are found on many major routes across the UK. The East Coast Main Line linking Edinburgh to London, the Great Western route through to Cornwall, and London services to Sheffield and Nottingham are just some examples.

East Coast mainline trains run on diesel
The average reading I got on-board my air conditioned train was 8.5. A researcher from King's College conducted an experiment to mirror mine on his train journey from London to Exeter and came out with similar results.
My time spent standing on the station concourse at London St Pancras, waiting for my train, produced a reading of 13.2.
So it turns out that during the 80 minutes I spend sitting still on a train every day I am being exposed to more diesel fumes than when I'm walking or cycling down a street full of traffic in London. On the day I took an electric train instead, my reading was only 2.4."..
