Drivers are being urged to brush up on recent changes made to the Highway Code - or face fines and penalty points on their licence.
Motoring experts at LeaseElectricCar.co.uk have researched the changes made by the DVLA to road laws in the UK in 2022. Amendments to the law also applied to vehicle infrastructure, as the UK increased its electric vehicle ownership. 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. Meanwhile, the hierarchy of road users was introduced, as pedestrians will now always have right of way, putting the greatest responsibility onto drivers of large vehicles.
