Understand your answer and agree to a certain point, but any person can go work on their car, in fact a few years ago supercheap were selling brake pads and supplying a generic set of instructions how to do it, if you need those, you should not be doing the job.
Not taking anything away from plumbers or sparkies, but there are plenty of other jobs/careers that have peoples safety in mind and these trades do not need a licence.
