New driving laws have come into force this month. The new rules, which began on Saturday, April 1, are in addition to various others British drivers have faced - most of which came in last month and included things like number plate changes, updates to the Highway Code and the implementation of new Clean Air Zones, like the one here in Bristol.
While driving rules, laws and changes to roads in our area are everchanging, it is important to ensure you are kept up to date before you head out for a drive, or you could find yourself facing a hefty penalty. Bristol's Clean Air Zone came into force late last year, however many motorists are still unsure as to when and why they may face charges for driving through it.
What's more, new bus lanes and other road changes are still catching some drivers out in the city centre and elsewhere. ExaminerLive reports that new rules for 2023 include things like electric car parking fines, car tax changes, new powers for councils, and even new rules around e-scooters.
