It includes tighter rules on the use of a mobile phone
are being encouraged to familiarise themselves with the four new driving rules now in force in the UK. The changes include tighter rules regarding the use of a mobile phone and low emission zones., A spokesperson for leasing company LeaseCar.uk said: “It is really important for all drivers to keep an eye out on the changes to motoring rules this summer. No one wants to be landed with a fine or severe driving penalty by simply not staying updated on new regulations.
“Stay up-to-date with the latest updates and regulations of the Highway Code this summer to avoid fines and driving sanctions, and help to keep fellow drivers, cyclists and pedestrians safe.” As we enter the festive period, people may be travelling more whether that be for Christmas shopping or visiting family and friends. It’s important to be aware of the new laws to avoid hefty fines.Low Emission Zones were rolled out in big cities as a way to reduce pollution. If a vehicle does not meet the required emission criteria, you will be charged.
Multiple cities in the UK including London, Brighton and Birmingham have already introduced the scheme with some cities including Dundee, Aberdeen and Edinburgh to follow over the next few years. Failure to pay the daily charges for a vehicle entering the LEZ will result in heavy penalties.A long-running law in the UK has centred around mobile phones, with the use of them largely restricted. However, the law around using them has now changed.
Previously, drivers were allowed to use their phone for non-communication purposes, such as viewing their phone for music and more. However, you are no longer allowed to do that. Anyone caught using their phone for any reason now whilst driving could face a fine of £200 and six points on their licence.Speed Limiters are now mandatory in all new cars sold. The device is fitted on cars and works by restricting the engine power, limiting the speed of the car.
