British motorists have been hit by a series of new driving laws in 2023 with major adjustments to legislation.<\/p>\n

Road users are likely to have picked up some of the updates as they happened but others may have slipped through the net.<\/p>\n

This leaves drivers at serious risk of falling foul of the rulebook which may result in penalties such as hefty fines.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest new updates has been the introduction of Sadiq Khan\u2019s controversial Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) scheme in London.<\/p>\n

The project expanded the existing ULEZ with daily fees being subjected to Outer London boroughs such as Harrow and Bromley.<\/p>\n

The scheme proved widely unpopular with locals who staged mass protests in Central London against the plan.<\/p>\n

A local vigilante group known as the \u2018Blade Runners\u2019 even took matters into their own hands by chopping down new ULEZ cameras ahead of the scheme’s launch.<\/p>\n

Labour also put the fallout of ULEZ as a reason why they failed to win Boris Johnson\u2019s former Uxbridge seat in a by-election.<\/p>\n

Alongside ULEZ, motorists in one UK nation have had to deal with major speed limit changes over the last few months.<\/p>\n

Introduced back in September, officials opted to launch nationwide 20mph restrictions on residential roads to boost safety.<\/p>\n

A public health study claimed the scheme could lead to 40 percent fewer collisions every year. This in turn would save between six to 10 lives every 12 months with around 2,000 individuals avoiding injury.<\/p>\n

However, the concept has also been met with opposition by many with the bill expected to come in at around \u00a332million.<\/p>\n

The expanding rise of Clean Air Zones across the UK continues with another large UK metropolis welcoming an emissions project back in February.<\/p>\n
