Rejected petition Bring into legislation/law the right to modify and repair our vehicles

With the move to electric vehicles there is a push to ban modifications of vehicles. so many of us would like our right to modify and repair vehicles enshrined in legislation and law

More details

If modification of vehicles is banned this will affect more than just poorly modified vehicles this will affect many people including van lifers, professional modifier companies and ultimately will affect the ability for people to switch to non-petroleum-based fuels. Combustion engines can be made to run on hydrogen which ultimately would be cheaper for people to have done to their vehicles
