🚗 Heads Up, Drivers: New Number Plate Rules Could Hit You with a £1,000 Fine! 🚗
Attention all motorists! The new 75 registration plates are rolling out, and with them comes the potential for hefty fines if your number plate doesn’t meet the latest regulations. A whopping £1,000 penalty could be headed your way if you’re not up to speed.
👉 What You Need to Know:
– Fresh registrations kicked in this September, featuring the new 75 plates.
– Your number plate must display black characters on a white background at the front, and on a yellow background at the rear.
– Missteps in spacing, font, or size not only risk an MOT failure but might also land you with a steep fine.
🚨Beware of These Common Mistakes:
– Plates must be made from reflective material.
– Ensure the correct British Standard marking (BS AU 145e) is present on plates fitted after September 1, 2021.
– Even slight alterations in spacing could render your plate illegal.
🚨 Other Things to Keep in Mind:
It’s not just number plates causing confusion. A misstep in the little-known car seat rule could see you fined £500. Also, newlyweds, update your driving licences to avoid another £1,000 fine!
The rules might seem small, but the consequences for not following them are anything but. Double-check your vehicle to ensure you’re following all guidelines. 🚦
Stay informed, stay road-legal, and keep your wallet happy! 💷
