The EU will not pass the truck-related law, because it is not how law works in the EU. In the US (common law) high-profile cases and precedents are the source of the law. This brings more power to the people, but also makes the legal system infinitely more complicated. In the EU, we have civil law, which relies on first principles and lawmakers authority to interpret existing laws, with much less attention given to individual cases. This simplifies the law and filters away some insane legal tests like this one, at the cost of giving more legal power to the government and less to the people. Both systems have their pros and cons, of course.
