Drivers are being urged to be aware of new rules
coming in this year which could see more motorists facing fines. Changes are being implemented to the Highway Code this month with new driving laws impacting electric car parking fines, introducing more clean air zones, and a seeing handful of Highway Code changes.
Regulations in the Highway Code are also changing. While it's not illegal, motorists who run out on fuel while driving and obstruct traffic can face £100 fine and points on their licence. This penalty has been extended to electric car drivers.The AA previously said it attended more than 10,500 breakdowns last year where members had run out of fuel or electrical charge. It believes this may be caused by motorists delaying filling up due to high fuel prices and the cost-of-living squeeze.
Experts have spoken out about the potential move for a probationary period for youngsters, with further talks on this set to be debated by Transport Minister Richard Holden come May 16, at a road safety meeting.
