'we can tell you when your car is beyond the end of its life' is not a power grab

cool

The sentence you seem to be having trouble understanding is:

If a car needs a repair, any part may be changed as long as the vehicle is fit to pass the roadworthiness inspections and remains authorised to operate on the EU roads.

Let me know which of those words is giving you trouble, and I'll be happy to tell you which definition they have in this context.

I'm neurodivergent, please state your points more clearly

No.

I want to (or am paid to) misrepresent EU legislation to make it look like they're proposing a power grab of the rights of car owners.

You're wasting bandwidth with your bullshit.

And yet you keep adding on to it. Curious.

The facts are clear, and they haven't sunk in yet.

Here they are again:

The proposed legislation does not ban repairs on vehicles of any age, and did not differentiate between ice and electric vehicles.

The article is one of these attempts to manufacture outrage, by reporting fake news.

If a car needs a repair, any part may be changed as long as the vehicle is fit to pass the roadworthiness inspections and remains authorised to operate on the EU roads.

Understand yet?

ok so then

if it can be repaired,

what is the point of the rule,

aside from grasping at any shred of potential power?

It tries to do two things. Track second hand parts to make the repair of older vehicles cheaper, or in some cases, possible.

And the same tracking makes it harder for criminals to sell a car that has been slapped together either from various stolen vehicle parts or from parts from written off vehicles that would fail to meet standards.

sounds like a non-issue to me

Only if you haven't had your car stolen, or been sold a car from stolen parts.

But laws aren't about how they affect you personally. They're there for everyone.

The point is the article from the game news website is misinforming that it has to to with ice cars, and that the EU is considering banning repairs. Both are completely wrong.
