A raft of changes are now in effect for UK number plates.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) implemented a number of rules earlier this month, as well as introducing a new batch of 2022 registration plates.
And one key detail on new number plates will also be different to what we are used to seeing on the roads around Liverpool.

British number plates will now have a Union Flag on the side, as opposed to the EU flag.
They will also now read ‘UK’ rather than ‘GB’ to reflect the UK’s exit from the European Union.
Drivers won’t need to display a GB sticker in most EU countries if their number plate has GB or a Union Flag on it.
Motorists who fail to display their plates correctly could be slapped with a nasty fine.
The DVLA says: "Number plates (also known as licence plates) must show your registration number correctly.
“You cannot rearrange letters or numbers, or alter them so that they’re hard to read.
“You could be fined up to £1,000 and your vehicle will fail its MOT test if you drive with incorrectly displayed number plates."
The old plates and licences will still be valid but the new versions will be given to everyone renewing a licence or getting one for the first time.
