The new Labour government in the UK is set to introduce four significant driving laws this month, impacting petrol, diesel, and electric vehicle owners. One of the key changes includes reinstating the ban on new petrol and diesel car sales to 2030, previously pushed back to 2035 by the former government. Local councils may also implement new traffic regulations, particularly affecting yellow box junctions. Additionally, the government plans to announce changes to the National Planning Policy Framework, potentially facilitating gigafactories for battery production. The introduction of intelligent speed assistance technology in new vehicles has also been mandated by EU law, which will apply in Northern Ireland, though its implementation in England, Scotland, and Wales is still under consideration. The overall aim is to accelerate the transition to greener transport and improve road safety.
