Yesterday, March 1, marked the first “new reg plate day” of 2023, with all newly registered cars now donning the “23” indicator after September 2022’s “72” marker. Almost all number plates must adhere to a number of specifications and requirements to be allowed on the road.
In recent years, all registration plates must be “BS AU 145e” grade, which meets the new British Standard for Retroreflective Number Plates.
The plates are made from a stronger material, making them tougher and able to withstand damage and abrasion.
This change was designed to make it easier for Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to read the plate.
If number plates are not displayed properly, including being obscured or dirty, motorists are breaking driving laws and could be fined.

Even if the vehicle itself is insured, if the driver is not correctly insured to drive it they could get penalised.
The police can dish out fixed penalty notices of £300 and six penalty points on driving licences.
In the event that the case goes to court, motorists could receive an unlimited fine and may even be disqualified from driving.
The police also have the power to seize, and in some cases, destroy the vehicle that’s being driven uninsured.
