Don't get caught out 🚗
All drivers across the United Kingdom are being urged to check their vehicles ahead of the launch of new licence plate numbers this month
- the first identifier change of the year so far, following on from the 72 number which was issued in September 2022. The earlier 22 plate was launched in March last year. But as the new number plates come in, Comparethemarket are reminding people to check their own registrations to avoid being fined. Anyone who is caught not following the rules could risk a fine of £1,000.Julie Daniels from the car insurance team at Comparethemarket said: “As the new ‘23’ number plates are released, this can serve as a reminder to motorists on how not to be fined with plate-related offences.
"It’s important for drivers to keep their number plate clean and clear, especially in the rainy months when we are more likely to see mud, or they could face fines of up to £1,000. "Drivers must also never tamper with their vehicle’s plate, which includes changing the spacing or size of the characters, or moving them around to show a different registration number. This includes changing it to make your car seem newer by giving it the new ‘23’ registration. Your car will be illegal to drive, risking fines on the road. You would also fail your MOT, which could invalidate your insurance, and impact your ability to make a claim if needed.
