This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Petition Regulate vehicle techs to only allow qualified people to repair motor vehicles
Currently any person can repair their own or anyone else's vehicle with no training or experience of motor vehicles. Eg replace their brake with disastrous or fatal results. Other trades are regulated to stop untrained people from carrying out dangerous repair work Eg gas fitters and elections
More details
Other concerns are electric cars

13% of road accidents are cause by mechanical failure or poorly service vehicles. Regulation would cut accidents and possibly save lives
