DVLA warning-drivers warn them that they must report any of the 182 common diseases or face a huge fine of £1,000

If drivers fail to disclose their current medical conditions, they may face fines of up to £1,000.

It is estimated that about 1 million motorists fail to report to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) due to health problems.

According to the DVLA, you must tell them if you have any "notifiable" conditions on their list.

And this list is not only for simple things, but a wide range of diseases, syndromes and minor diseases from A to Z.

It also includes common diseases such as diabetes, depression and high blood pressure.

The two numbers in the middle of the license plate indicate the age of the car.

DVLA releases two batches of license plate combinations on March 1 and September 1 each year.

All license plates issued from March 1 to the end of August will use the same two numbers as the registration year.

For example, cars registered from March to August 2021 will have "21".

For cars registered between September 2021 and the end of February 2022, the year is-21-plus 50, which is 71.

The new system started in 2001, with registration numbers 01 and 51.

When DVLA issues car license plates, they actually follow a very unique system.

The first part of the license plate is the local memory tag-the first two letters of the license plate identify the place where the vehicle is registered.

The first letter represents the locality, for example, E stands for Essex, and L stands for London.

The second letter of the license plate then identifies which DVLA office in the area is registered-multiple letters can refer to the same DVLA office.

The letters I, Q, and Z are not used as local office identifiers, and Z can only be used as random letters.

Drivers can tint the windows-but only to a certain degree, because they need to make sure they can see their surroundings clearly.

Although it may be tempting to add a loud exhaust device to show off your engine power, it cannot exceed 74 decibels, otherwise it is classified as illegal.

If the spoilers are upgraded to simplify your car, if they are not securely attached to the car, obstruct your view, or if it has sharp edges, you will also be fined.

Using nitrous oxide gas to power your engine is also illegal, because it can cause serious damage to your engine-or even cause it to explode.

These changes will also have an impact on your car insurance, so please be sure to notify your supplier and check carefully before making adjustments.

If their car modification does not comply with UK regulations, the driver may be fined, some of which may even eventually invalidate your insurance.

According to the government's plan to fill loopholes in the legislation, new crimes may be introduced.

These will apply to those who "supply, install and/or promote'tampered products' for vehicles or non-road mobile machinery".

Other possible new crimes include "delete, reduce the effectiveness of the system or make it invalid."

So, what kind of punishment will you face? The following is the severity of fines you may face.

Britons who put stickers on the rear windows of their cars may be fined 300 pounds and 6 points.

Having an unreliable license plate-which may involve it being covered with a reflective coating, having illegal fonts or designs, or incorrect spacing-may bring you a fine of £100.

Another common driving misunderstanding is that it is illegal to eat while driving.

Although this is not the case, if snacking is distracting and you are deemed to have not properly controlled the vehicle, you may again be fined £100 and 3 points on the spot.

There are also many myths about speeding cameras. For example, many drivers think that they will only be caught speeding when the camera flashes.

It is unclear whether motorists will be fined higher under the new regulations.

But stricter restrictions may cause more drivers to pay more cash because the government wants to "strengthen our ability to enforce compliance."

They intend to ensure that "cleaner and safer vehicles" are on the road and hope to introduce new violations.

According to a surprising provision, Britons may be fined £30 for driving with fog lights.

Motorists may think that they know how to use car lights, but it seems that this rule in highway laws is often overlooked.

If drivers use fog lights when they are not needed, they may face a violation of the law because they dazzle other road users and block your brake lights.

If you do not follow the rules, this may cause severe damage to the road and you will see you being stopped by the police.

If you use high-visibility lights when the police believe that the fog is not enough, you may face deductions from your driver’s license and a fine of up to £30.

Article 236 of the Highway Law states: "Unless the visibility is severely reduced (see Article 226), you must not use front or rear fog lights because they will dazzle other road users and may obscure your brakes light.

"When visibility improves, you have to turn them off."

A solid uninterrupted white line indicates that parking is not allowed.

AA said: "In some cases, a single white line indicates that there is no sidewalk-if this is the case, then parking there is illegal."

Some drivers may mistakenly believe that they can park anywhere on Sundays or bank holidays.

But experts warn that according to local signs, restrictions still apply.

There are reports that people received parking fines on Boxing Day.

The comparison site Confused.com stated: "Regardless of whether it is a bank holiday, the traffic may be quieter, and you still need to obey the stop signs and obey the waiting restriction signs.

“If the parking sign prohibits parking between 8 am and 6 pm on Mondays and Saturdays, you can’t park there even if Monday is a bank holiday.”

Generally speaking, Blue Badge holders can park on single and double yellow lines for up to three hours.

But you should consult your local council, because some administrative districts such as London may have additional restrictions on parking on the double yellow line.

Some red routes may have designated parking spaces for the disabled, otherwise you can only park outside the restricted hours.

You should always display your blue badge clearly in the car so that the parking guard can check it.

In addition to parking, there are other reasons that may cause the driver to be fined.

You may be fined £60 and three penalties for failing to scrape the ice on the windshield.

If you do not meet the minimum vision requirements, you may face a fine of £1,000 or a driving ban.

Drivers usually cannot stop on the double yellow line.

Highway regulations say that the double yellow line means “it is forbidden to wait at any time, even if there is no upright sign”.

However, there are exceptions for disabled blue badge holders.

As long as there are no designated loading and unloading restrictions at the time, you can usually stop on the double yellow line to get off or pick up people.

A yellow line means that you can only park or wait at certain times.

There is no fixed time, so you need to check the nearby time.

Some may have restrictions on working days, such as 8 am to 6 pm, while others may only have one hour.

Disabled drivers with blue badges can usually stop on a yellow line at any time, but only for a maximum of three hours.

In non-emergency situations, biting your head and stopping is likely to cause you trouble.

This includes stopping to answer the phone, going to the bathroom, or taking a break because you are too tired.

Stopping on a hard shoulder is extremely dangerous for you and other highway drivers.

According to the English Road Agency, more than 100 people die or are injured each year, so using it should always be the last resort.

If you really need to use a hard shoulder in an emergency, RAC recommends that you park your car on the leftmost side of the road and turn on the hazard lights and side lights to warn other drivers that your car is stationary.

They also recommended that passengers in the car use the left door to get off after waiting for the guardrail.

As we reported in our previous article on highway regulations, the rules of the road are constantly changing

A hard shoulder is a piece of hardened land used for any broken down vehicle to safely serve as a refuge away from traffic.

Emergency vehicles can also use the lanes to bypass traffic and reach the scene of the accident.

When the road works instruct them to do so, the driver may also need to use hard shoulders.

This is completely legal, but when the road works are completed, you need to move back to the driving lane.

The highway code says: “No hard shoulders shall be used unless in an emergency or under the direction of police, traffic officials or traffic signs.”

This means that if you plan to avoid early morning traffic by driving on a hard shoulder, you will be breaking the law.

Getting caught with a hard shoulder by mistake may result in a fine of £100 and three points deducted from your driver’s license.

The rules about overpacking cars can be confusing, and there are many factors that determine whether you are on the wrong side of the law.

If your car has two rearview mirrors, it is not illegal to block the rear screen, which means that as long as your luggage and passengers do not exceed the weight limit of the engine, the driver can stack the car very high.

Before packing your car, AA provides these handy tips for your consideration:

Be sure to keep abreast of the changing rules of the road.

Exceeding the manufacturer's limit may result in a fine of £300 and three deductions from your license.

If you are found to have caused an accident when the vehicle exceeds the maximum load, your insurance may even be invalid.

Drivers should always check the load they think may exceed the limit before setting off. The vehicle's manual will provide the maximum weight you can bear.

Even if your car is below the maximum weight limit, it is recommended that you increase the tire pressure before setting off when driving with a heavy load.

The yellow lines and restrictions make it difficult to find a parking place, and if you are in the wrong place, you may be fined.

Here is how to check if you can stop on the yellow line. Yellow lines are a common feature of British roads.

They can be a hazard for drivers looking for parking spaces, as restrictions may vary depending on the time and date.

Drivers who shouldn't stop on the yellow line will receive a fine notice (PCN).

These are issued by the local parking administrator, and the charges may vary depending on the city government and where you parked.

According to the AA, PCN can reach up to £70 outside of London and up to £130 in the capital.

The two numbers in the middle of the license plate indicate the age of the car.

DVLA releases two batches of license plate combinations on March 1 and September 1 each year.

All license plates issued from March 1 to the end of August will use the same two numbers as the registration year.

For example, cars registered from March to August 2021 will have "21".

For cars registered between September 2021 and the end of February 2022, the year is 21 years plus 50 years, which is 71 years.

The new system started in 2001, with registration numbers 01 and 51.

The good news is that for most vehicles, the new rearview mirror is a relatively affordable component.

If glass is the only thing that is damaged, the cost of replacing it may be as low as £15.

However, drivers who buy a car through finance may charge a higher fee if the mirror is broken when returning the car.

Some damaged rearview mirrors can be replaced by your insurance company, so if you find damage, it is worth contacting them.

RAC Road Safety spokesperson Simon Williams said: "Unfortunately, broken rearview mirrors are too common on our roads.

"This is illegal, and for good reason: not seeing vehicles, motorcyclists or cyclists approaching from behind can lead to tragic consequences.

"Because the road regulations will change in 2022, giving cyclists priority over drivers who turn at intersections to drive forward, it is more important than ever to have intact rearview mirrors."

If your car’s rearview mirror is broken, you may face a hefty fine, but it depends on whether you can get on the road first.

If your car has cracked or broken glass, turning to MOT will mean that it is unlikely to be considered suitable for driving on the road.

A failed test will keep your car off the road until the problem is resolved-you may also be forced to perform a second test to get your car back on the road.

According to the "Building and Use Regulations", vehicles must have at least two rearview mirrors.

If the internal rearview mirrors are damaged, blurred or missing, both rearview mirrors must be intact.

It is illegal to drive without a mirror on the driver's side. If the driver does not have a mirror, the police can stop them.

Although a broken rearview mirror is not illegal, it can cause other serious problems and is costly for motorists.

Yes, you can charge an electric car at home.

You need an existing conventional plug socket or wall-mounted household charging device.

These charging devices specially made for electric vehicles can provide about 7kW of power, and charge your car three times faster than using ordinary plug sockets.

You need to pay for the installation, but the government grant can fund up to 75% of the purchase cost, up to a maximum of £350.

According to RAC, the cost of the charging device is approximately £800-which means you need to pay for the remaining cash required to install one.

You also need off-road parking spaces like driveways or garages to charge your cars-this is because laying wires on the street means that pedestrians may be at risk of tripping, and councils may have questions about this.
