Unfortunately, as with so many things, the regulations/rules have to capture the lowest common denominators.
Most here are probably a bit OCD about the condition of their vehicles. I certainly am. Still hardwired to check tyres, fluids etc on a regular basis and indeed to investigate and take action to rectify any mechanical problems if they make themselves apparent.
Many though, are simply not interested in or concerned by such matters, and without a system obliging them to ensure that their vehicles comply with a basic set of mainly safety related guidelines they just won’t bother.
