A host of new driving laws are now in force and drivers are being warned they could face fines of between £60 and an eyewatering £980 if they get caught out.

It's not all bad news though, as new laws on petrol and diesel could also result in savings at the pumps.

There are three key law changes drivers need to know about in June.

The first concerns low emission zones, with fines for non-compliant vehicles.

As has been seen in other areas of the country already such as Sheffield and Bradford, drivers will now be hit with fines for low emission zones in four major Scottish cities.

People driving older cars which pollute more will have to pay a daily £60 charge to drive into Edinburgh, Glasgow or Aberdeen.

Any non-compliant vehicles will pay £60, with fines spiralling to a cap of £480 maximum for eight repeated breaches.

Buses and coaches would be on the hook for fines of up to a truly eyewatering £980.

This is because the charge for entering the zone is doubled each time, meaning if you enter once, you owe £60, but if you enter again without paying, this becomes £120, then £240, up to a maximum of £480 for a car driver.

HGV, bus and coach drivers’ fines start off at £120 but end up at £980 for repeated breaches.

The cameras are on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and use automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) to monitor all cars going in and out of the zones - with no exceptions.

Another law change relates to e-scooters. On June 1, new Vehicle Special Orders (VSOs) come into effect. These will allow local councils around the country to launch ‘e scooter trials’ and suspend existing restrictions on the vehicles to allow for it.

Normally, these are banned on UK roads but the VSOs will allow councils to experiment with e-scooter trials like those seen in Cambridge.

Finally, a law on petrol and diesel is set to affect fill ups at the forecourt this month.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has been given new powers to investigate and report price abuses and gouging at the pumps to government.

It is hoped that this means prices on petrol and diesel - which are some of the highest in Europe thanks to hefty retailer margins - will start to reduce in June thanks to this new law, which was passed at the end of May.
