"Guys seriously chill. This guy knows nothing about EU Law. The Regulation says nothing about banning mods. It simply states that member states, ie the UK, have to ensure road
worthiness tests such as MOTs (which we already have) get carried
out.
All that is suggested by the chap at the DfT is his opinion on how that will be interpreted into UK law. I've done law for 5 years and the first thing to note is what is clearly said in the document -
"Roadworthiness testing is a sovereign activity and should therefore be done by the Member States or by entrusted bodies under their supervision(IE NOT THE EU). Member States should remain responsible for roadworthiness testing in any cases even if the national system allows for authorisation of private bodies, including those involved in performing repairs."
EU Law is not going to magically make mods illegal. Its up to our government to decide on what should be legal and what shouldnt be legal. I think what could happen is that MOT tests will start to fail unsafe mods/unenvironmentally friendly mods (which it already does to a certain extent). But at what point can they legitimately argue that me putting uprated brakes, suspension and a weld in cage with harnesses on a car is not making the car "roadworthy" or "safe".
Please dont spread this doc all its creating is confusion and panic imho."
