There are also strict rules around the shape, font, colour, and visibility of a vehicle’s number plate on UK roads.
Drivers in the UK have been warned it could soon become more expensive to travel as a slate of new rules and costs take effect later this week.
For instance, if a car was registered new on 2 March 2015, it could have a number plate with ‘15’ as its third and fourth characters.
From 1 April, all electric vehicle owners will need to start paying a higher band of vehicle excise duty – or car tax.
New rules are set to come in force for UK drivers this week.
