I feel some kind of innate shit in me in my humanness that says fixing a thing I own cannot be illegal. Period full stop no questions or exceptions.
Somehow, I'll fight whatever in court, because I'm fine with what I'm doing
I think, legally forbidden fixing could make sense for things that people's life depends on, like health devices, or amusement park installations, or aviation. On the other hand, I don't know if that is applied reasonably in reality (likely not)
Edit: I mean, even in that case the repairs are allowed, but only for a qualified party
Are you including cars?
Only if it's a special transport, i.e. an ambulance, a fire truck, or such
