New Parking Regulations Implemented Across UK

New regulations in the UK, including a Private Parking Code of Practice, aim to standardize car park penalties and introduce a 10-minute grace period to prevent unnecessary charges. However, some critics argue that the new code fails to address significant issues in the parking sector. Meanwhile, Washington D.C. has implemented the STEER Act, which imposes stricter penalties for reckless driving, including a new point system that may lead to vehicle towing for repeat offenders. In Inverness, a two-year parking ban has been introduced to improve safety for minibus passengers and traffic flow, while calls for stricter enforcement of idling laws in Scotland highlight ongoing concerns over vehicle emissions. These changes reflect a broader push for safer driving practices and improved traffic management across various regions.
