With so many mechanics in the family you're probably more qualified to comment on these matters than I am, Blossom!~
My query to IPM was in regard to his statement that we should all:
"...be able to change a wheel safely before being given a license..."
Because I'm concerned we're already over-regulated, I disagreed. I'd also disagree that we need to be able to repair an engine, by the side of the road, before being granted a licence. Both a flat tyre and a blown radiator will stop a car. What other mechanical skills might be necessary in this brave new world, before we can be licensed, I wonder? Headlight failure would be dangerous, of course, so maybe we need to demonstrate some auto-electrical skills...?
As I inferred earlier, contacting specialists to assist us at the roadside isn't a sin. Discrimination against some road users may well be!~ :)
