There are of course some things good in this country I live in, they are cutting costs so hard that at such rural area where I live it is bigger chance to win in lottery than meet police at afternoon/early evening at working days. At any given moment chance is quite minimal, but they do pickup some small crooks at mornings sometimes or just travel trough the area. I know many that are not allowed to drive because of medical conditions, but still drive short trips around here, nobody has been ever caught.
So even there would be silly laws, as long as your car does look quite road worthy, is not attention magnet and that you keep driving local, getting caught is not likely. If one keeps car in good condition and does everything else so that it will pass MOT anytime, except mods, it is also not so awful expensive when you get caught. There are lot of those 'illegal' vehicles without MOT at countryside too, many are in quite bad condition too, but because in future yearly payments increase really a lot, there will be even more of them. That is why they plan on bringing average speed cameras on every road of course, so that they can check if plates are allowed to travel and I doubt that they will keep databases of all photos so they can check where anyone has gone etc. This will probably be sold as safety and easier crime solving for masses when time is right.
Of course they are trying to empty rural areas by introducing new regulations that will cause very expensive costs for house owners, aim is to get rich foreigners to have cabins and spend their money here and get rid of us who like simpler life. In last 10 years they have introduced requirements that mean tens of thousands more cost to everyone, but in future there are plans to introduce more of them, same is probably future with cars, in names of saftety and enviroment they sell people new requirements that eventually cause old cars to become illegal to use on roads, this of course helps in attempts to empty rural areas as people can't afford really all that.
In cities people are easier to control too, there are cctv's everywhere and generally thinking for themselves is lot less as people are more oriented to work more think less.
One big goal is to have all people in cities, not travelling and working more to support that silly constant growth.
German automakers are rubbing their hands together with big grin of course as things progress, they have all means to make cars that consume half of petrol than they do now, but of course they will make models with small improvements so they can sell more and EU is putting more laws to slowly tighten requirements for cars that are used on road, again to support constant growth, to not kill it by making finished product right away.
I think that collapsing euro and resulting financial chaos would bring some sense to this part of world again, of course it would cause lot of suffering, but growing out from old usually does have some growth pains. Eventually there would perhaps be bit more free, bit more healthy society.
