Verdict: the claim that 'government lifts ban on imports of vehicles more than 10 years old' has been rated as misleading. the statutory instrument concerned only provides exemptions where only certain classes of people are now allowed to import cars more than 10 years old, rather than a lifting of the ban or even a partial lifting. while the original story has been corrected, other misleading versions still exist highlighting the dangers of creating false impressions, even when headlines are later corrected.
