Fines of up to £5,000 can be handed out for these mistakes.

As Christmas passes us by, many people will still be playing festive tunes to cling onto the good times as they return to work and school.

Decorations must also not obstruct the view of the vehicle’s number plate, and if done, motorists could be fined £1,000. Plus, any costume that prevent a seatbelt being fastened properly could put a driver – or any passengers wearing costumes – at risk of receiving a £500 fine. This doesn't mean drivers can’t listen to festive tunes though, they just need to be conscious of the volume, and ensure they are selecting their music responsibly. Using a hand-held device while driving can lead to a £200 fine and six penalty points.
