The new rules will come into effect from today (Wednesday, September 1) as the autumn months begin.
E10 petrol to be introduced in September
Driving licences renewed DVLA
The DVLA extended driving licenses which expired between February 1 and December 31 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic. Any licences due to expire were extended until September 2021.
This means Driving licences are set to expire this month and drivers who fail to renew their licence could be hit with a £1,000 fine so are urged t update their licence as soon as possible.
Number plates
The new ‘71’ car number plates will launch on brand new vehicles from September.
As of this month, a new design to make cumber plates more durable will be introduced. The new BS AU 145e plates replace the old BS AU 145d standard which had been used since 2001.
Under new rules, number plates will only be allowed to display solid black lettering which will make it easier to be recognised on cameras. New number plates will also feature supplier’s business address and postcode.
