DVLA £1,000 Fine Warning Ahead of Change Coming to UK Roads in March
Motorists must use DVLA-registered suppliers for compliant number plates or face fines up to £1,000 and MOT failure, emphasizing legal display and material standards.
- On March 1, the DVLA warned motorists in England, Scotland and Wales that new number plates will be released and must meet legal specifications.
- The rules say number plates must be reflective with black characters on white front and yellow rear plates, marked with supplier information and British Standard `BS AU 145e` for plates fitted after 1 September 2021.
- Industry guidance notes 3D characters are allowed, but characters must not be removable or reflective, and licence plate lights must be white, evenly illuminating the plate without visible bulbs.
- Drivers face penalties including fines up to £1,000 and MOT test failure if number plates are incorrect, so motorists replacing or customising plates should buy only from DVLA-registered suppliers.
- If unsure, drivers should check with reputable suppliers or consult DVLA guidelines, as even small modifications can make plates illegal and cause fines or complications.
