Drivers are being urged to stay up-to-date on new amendments to the Highway Code else they risk fines and penalty points. Motoring experts at LeaseElectricCar.co.uk have researched the several changes that the DVLA made to road laws in the UK in 2022.
Amendments to the law also applied to vehicle infrastructure too as the UK increased its EV ownership in 2022. An electric vehicle was recently named the second best-selling car in the country in November and the government implemented new infrastructure laws to help new and existing EV owners.
All newly built homes and buildings are now required to have an electric car charge point installed. The Highway Code also makes it clear that drivers caught using or even holding their phones will receive a fine of up to £200 and six points on their licence.
