A new consultation document has recently been published "Future of transport regulatory review: modernising vehicle standards"
https://www.gov.uk/government/consul...ards#questions
It seems to be aimed at ensuring that any future control systems for automated vehicles cannot be "tampered with" which I think is fair enough.
However the proposal included -
Tackling tampering
We will create new offences for tampering with a system, part or component of a vehicle intended or adapted to be used on a road. This will enable us to address existing gaps in the legislation, ensuring cleaner and safer vehicles. We will also create new offences for tampering with non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) and for advertising ‘tampering’ services or products.
This can clearly be interpreted as applying to any part of a vehicle such as the body, lights, brakes etc, etc and will, in that case, give our hobby and industry some major problems.
It may also affect classic cars and is discussed in the October 27th issue of Classic Car weekly
