Road users are being urged to be aware of new rules coming into force this year, with more drivers potentially facing fines.
The update includes a £100 fine fuel warning, with the Highway Code implementing the changes this month. The shift will introduce new driving laws impacting electric car parking fines, additional clean air zones as well as other Highway Code changes.
Drivers who run out of fuel and therefore obstructing traffic facing a fine of up to £100 and points on their licence, with this penalty now extended to electric cars. More than 10,500 breakdowns last year were due to drivers of electric cars running out of fuel or charge, according to the AA.
