Charging an EV is still cheaper than fuelling an ICE vehicle, despite rises in energy prices

03 August 2022

The EV charging app Zap Map has released new research in partnership with GoCompare electric vehicle insurance which shows that rising energy prices mean EV drivers will be paying an annual average of £220 more to charge their vehicle this year than in 2021. The research found that, as of June 2022, the cost of rapidly charging an EV has risen to 48 pence per kWh from 35 pence per kWh in December 2021. Regular EV charging has also increased to 33 pence per kWh from 24 pence per kWh in the same period. Of course, EV drivers are still better off... Read full article

Industry and government collaboration is key to boosting electric van uptake, says BVRLA

01 August 2022

The latest statistics from the Society of Motoring Manufactures and Traders (SMMT) show that electric vans accounted for just 5.6 per cent of new light commercial vehicles in between January 1 and June 30 2022. At the recent British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) Fleets in Charge conference held on July 7, Chief Executive Gerry Keaney said, “There’s a lack of tax incentives to support the fleet sector in increasing the uptake of electrical vans. There's inadequate charging infrastructure to support the rather specific needs of the sector... Read full article

Addressing the age-old question of driver safety

25 July 2022

As the population of drivers becomes older, reflecting demographics, their safety on the roads is being called into question. A recent article by The Telegraph referred to new statistics by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) which show that the average life expectancy of people in the UK is now creeping towards 82. Key findings from the Reported Road Casualties Great Britain: Older Drivers factsheet 2020 by the Department for Transport show that the number of over 70s with a full UK driving licence has increased by 23.6% from 4.5million in 2016...

TFL and London Borough Councils to issue £160 fines for cars veering into cycle lanes

20 July 2022

Transport for London and London Borough councils are now able to issue penalty charge notices to drivers who veer into cycle lanes. Offenders caught within the first six months of this new scheme will receive a warning rather than a fine. After this period, the fine will be £160, or £80 if paid within two weeks. This comes after local councils throughout the country were recently handed the power to issue fines for traffic offences such as stopping in a yellow box junction. Head of Roads Policy for the AA Jack Cousins told The... Read full article

The RAC has highlighted key vehicle maintenance tasks to avoid fines

18 July 2022

The RAC has warned drivers that putting off simple car maintenance could potentially result in a fine or even penalty points on your licence.

Areas of concern include: Tyres – Driving with worn, underinflated or overinflated tyres could result in fines of £2,500 and 3 penalty points per tyre. Windscreen – Putting off getting the chip in your windscreen fixed could result in a fine of £2,500... Read full article

13 July 2022

You may have seen headlines such as ‘£5,000 fines for driving without sunglasses’ and be wondering what your dress sense could possibly have to do with driving safely. Driving with due care and attention is a broad rule which, when broken, can carry a fine as well as penalty points or even a driving ban, depending on the severity of the offence. Anything from wearing inappropriate clothing, such as flip flops, to chatting with passengers in your vehicle could potentially put you at risk of driving without due care and attention. It is a...

Proposals to expand the London ULEZ to Kent borders from 2023

11 July 2022

A proposed expansion could see London’s Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) reach the borders of Kent and affect the A2, A20 and A21 from next year. Transport for London (TFL) have been asked to consult on expanding the area on August 29, 2023 which is intended to help the Mayor of London fulfil his promise of improving air quality and reducing traffic congestion across Greater London. A daily charge of £12.50 would be applicable to non-compliant vehicles driving within the new zone, including residents. Obviously there would be no charge for vehicles... Read full article

Anti-tailgating technology mandatory in EU as of July 6 2022

07 July 2022

A new ruling will mean that all new cars in Europe and Northern Ireland will be required by law to have anti-tailgating technology fitted as of July 6 2022. The technology uses radar and cameras to detect hazards on the road and act by slowing or stopping the vehicle if the driver does not respond to an alarm signalling it is too close to the vehicle ahead. Currently, this system is only used in 12 to 15 per cent of cars. Whilst the UK government has yet to confirm if it will follow suit, AA president Edmund King spoke to The Daily Telegraph and said that... Read full article
