The UK is currently in the midst of a whole range of shortages, due to the current shortcoming of lorry drivers, especially HGV 1 drivers with the ADR licence (for transporting hazardous goods). This is causing chaos at the petrol forecourts for drivers of petrol and diesel cars.
Every day there are news reports in the media about mile-long queues, heated incidents, and added stresses of sharp increases in petrol and diesel prices. Petrol and diesel are now the highest they have been for eight years.

The UK is introducing the new eco-friendly fuel called E10, and the question constantly being asked is, is my car compatible with using it? Well, firstly the whole reason why the E10 fuel is being launched in the UK is, it will cut carbon emissions by 750,000 tonnes a year, as stated by The Department of Transport. This equates to taking approximately 350,000 cars off the road. This will help steer the government into achieving its climate control target.
The E10 fuel is being distributed to garage forecourts throughout the UK and will land in Northern Ireland in the early part of 2022.
As the rules stand now, if anyone has passed their driving test after the 1st of January 1997, they can tow a trailer of up to 750kg MAM.
The DVLA will shortly be making an announcement to confirm the exact date in the Autumn of 2021.
