The blog this week is about the two changes coming into effect next month regarding car number plates. Read on to find out more:

Drivers have been issued a warning over two changes to number plate rules coming into effect from next month. From 1st March 2022 new cars registered will be given a 22 tag instead of the current 71 tags. The new number plates will be made out of a different material, which is supposedly tougher.

Number plates can now only display solid black lettering as two-tone plates that used different shades to create a 3D or 4D effect have been banned. According to travel and traffic experts, this will help Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to read the plate more easily.

Make sure that your number plate on your Volvo or Toyota complies with the new regulations. Your plates will also have to display the supplier's business name and postcode. Happy Safe Motoring Folks!
