Your thread was about your problem with the right to repair. Taking it out of the right to repair is off-topic.
It has also been covered over and over :horse:

As mentioned. Right to repair will make EMI issues smaller not bigger. 3rd parties already do repairs. With documentation, and parts they can do better repairs not worse.

I am not being dismissive of your concern. I just don't find it to be a rational concern. If you have other concerns I would be interested in hearing them.

Miti:
Why don’t answer your concerns using the past experience.

1. How many people died from touching an improperly repaired TV, washing machine, MW oven, tractor, computer, car in the past, when parts and schematics were readily available?

2. How many pacemakers stopped working, garage doors opened and closed, planes crashed because of the excessive EMI from some bodged electronic device?

3. How many people were very happy with the way things were done in the past and are unhappy with the way they are going now?

Where do you have mandatory safety inspections? There are often exhaust compliance inspections, but I don't even know what that safety inspection would look like.

The state of New South Wales in Australia, and also the UK have mandatory "road worthiness" inspections on a yearly basis.

Indeed!

What does it look like...?

I'll tell you some of the things I can remember for a typical car from when I worked at a mechanic who did these.......

- Oil leaks
- Fuel leaks
- Tyre condition (including spare if they're really keen)
- Steering, front end linkages and wheel bearings
- Shock absorbers
- Engine mounts
- Pedal pads (no exposed metal)
- Headlights (high and low beam), tail lights, stop lights, indicators, number plate light(s)
- Seat condition (driver's)
- Seatbelt condition and operation (inertia reel) - All seatbelts
- Windscreen damage - especially within the driver's main field of view
- Checking for exhaust leaks
- Brake test
- Body condition (rust)
- Windscreen washers and wipers operation and wiper blade condition
- Key (not removable when turned on)
- Check VIN and manufacture date - must match paperwork
- Visibility of number plate
- Emissions (visual check) - but if you stank of rotten egg gas, then you're likely to get done for a faulty catalytic converter.
- Noise level (you can be referred for a formal sound check)
... and if you have a vehicle with LPG, there are a few other checks.

That's what I've come up with off the top of my head.  I may have missed some.
