Motorists are being warned about six new driving rules coming into place in 2023 - as well as being reminded about ten old ones that they might not know about and could still catch them out.
Some have been introduced to tie in with the Government’s green agenda, while some are aimed at reducing accidents. Founder of ChooseMyCar.com, Nick Zapolski, said the new rules must be well-publicised or they may well catch drivers out.He said: "Changing clean air or low emission zones, or local speed limits, is a great idea to reduce pollution and lower accident levels. But local councils must make sure they are sufficiently publicising these changes, or many drivers will get caught out.
You could also be stopped for driving without full control of the vehicle, which could get you points on your licence, as well as a fine.Highway Code 237 insists that drivers keep their cars “well ventilated” at all times. Apparently, this is more to do with drowsiness than overheating, and if you’re deemed to be incorrectly ventilating your car, you could face a fine of up to £5,000.Wearing the wrong glasses might cost you up to £5,000 or 9 points on your licence.
Rule 56 of the Highway Code states that pets cannot be on the hard shoulder in any circumstances; failure to comply can result in a fine of up to £2,500.Some will know that flip flops are not deemed to be suitable footwear for driving - but walking boots and high heels are also not acceptable.
