UK drivers heading further afield in their cars could get a nasty shock if they are not aware of new rules which have come into force.
Motorists have already seen countless driving law changes this year, with new Highway Code rules and motoring fines, but October will see motorists warned of an increase in fines both in the UK and abroad. However expats living in Spain are hopeful that they might finally be able to use their British driving licence, after they were banned from using them on Spanish roads in May.
Families planning an October getaway to France have been warned of potential fines starting this month, especially if they own an older petrol or diesel car. In Marseille, police will begin issuing fines to any 'Euro 2' vehicles, with those registered between 1997 and 2000 likely to be affected, according to The Express.
