Reach out to your government
If you're dealing with an active citation, or simply want your government aware of this gap, here's where to start — by country, plus the Taiwan side with actual jurisdiction over the rules themselves.
Legislative oversight
Oversees MOTC policy and can receive public petitions
Web: ly.gov.tw
The committee with actual jurisdiction over the rules this site describes. Petitions and public suggestions are the formal channel for raising a legislative fix — this site hasn't confirmed a specific current committee convener, so start with the committee's general contact channel rather than a named individual.

Current phone line is published on the office's own site — search "British Office Taipei" to confirm it, as it wasn't independently verified for this page.
Beyond the offices above, most EU member states maintain their own office in Taipei — including France, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Poland, and others. This site hasn't independently verified current addresses and phone numbers for each, to avoid publishing anything stale. The most reliable current directory is maintained by the European Union Centre in Taiwan, which links directly to each national office's own site.
