Motorists are being urged to stay up-to-date on changes to the Highway Code, or face fines and penalty points. New research has listed several changes to road laws made in the UK last year (2022) - and some drivers may not have even realised the changes had been made.
The research was carried out by motoring experts at LeaseElectricCar.co.uk who found that amendments to the law also applied to vehicle infrastructure too, as the UK increased its electric vehicle ownership last year. In fact, an electric vehicle was recently named the second best-selling car in the country back in November and the government implemented the new laws to help both new and existing owners.
These included rules all newly built homes and buildings are required to have an electric car charge point installed, while the Highway Code now also makes it clear that drivers caught using or even holding their phones will receive a fine of up to £200, as well as six points on their licence.
