The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has explained that the rollout of the new vehicle plate system has been delayed due to legal and parliamentary requirements. Speaking on the AM Show, Stephen Attuh, Director of Corporate Affairs at DVLA, said the authority cannot issue new plates until amendments to the governing legislation are formally in force. “Under regulation 10 of LI 2180, it tells you specifically everything that should be on the plate. If you have features that have not been spelt out in the LI, you are acting illegally,” Mr Attuh explained.
