Drivers are being warned of new motoring rule changes being introduced in the near future that could have a huge impact on their finances and their ability to travel.

November will see Chancellor Rachel Reeves unveil the Autumn Budget which could bring in new rules for all petrol, diesel and electric vehicle owners.

With new rules being introduced over the coming weeks, GB News has rounded up the most important driving law changes in November 2025 that could impact you.

Budget

Chancellor Rachel Reeves will deliver the long-awaited Autumn Budget on Wednesday, November 26, with many fearing that she could introduce a range of new changes for motorists.

The Labour MP for Leeds West and Pudsey has already warned that Britons could face difficult decisions as the Treasury attempts to fill a £50billion financial black hole.

Suggestions have already been put forward as to what the Chancellor could introduce, including changes to fuel duty, new motoring taxes and even new incentives for electric vehicle owners.

The five pence per litre freeze on the rate of fuel duty is set to remain frozen until March 2026 after the Chancellor announced an extension in last year’s Autumn Budget.

As the Chancellor looks to raise money for the Government, she could scrap the fuel duty freeze prematurely or from March, and even uprate it in line with inflation next year.

The Treasury has been looking into the potential to raise taxes for electric vehicles as another avenue to raise money, according to The i Paper.

While this would aggravate electric vehicle owners and could put other motorists off from switching, suggestions have been made that they could be rolled out alongside incentives.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

• Labour announces huge update on future of MOT tests as new rules remain ‘under review’
• Motorists urged to act ahead of DVLA number plate countdown as drivers risk £1,000 fine
• Rachel Reeves considering hiking car taxes and introducing pay-per-mile road pricing in Budget

Potential measures include raising the value of the Electric Car Grant beyond £3,750 or slashing the rate of VAT applied to EV chargers in public.

Drivers are currently levied a 20 per cent VAT rate on public chargers, while motorists with an EV charger at home are charged at a five per cent rate.

Other measures could see the Chancellor make comments on the car finance scandal, with drivers set for a £700 payout if they were affected.

One of Labour’s pledges prior to the election last year was to address car insurance prices, although this is unlikely to be addressed in November.

Fuel Finder

A Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) spokesperson told GB News that the Fuel Finder scheme was “on track”, with hopes for it to be introduced before the end of the year.

The scheme will require major retailers and supermarkets to update systems within 30 minutes of a price change or the unavailability of fuel.

Estimates suggest that the Fuel Finder scheme could help motorists save between one and six pence per litre, once it is introduced.

​Ahead of its introduction, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has launched a consultation to hear from key players on how the scheme should operate.

It questions retailers on how penalties should be issued, whether formal action is appropriate and whether the CMA guidance is clear.

The spokesperson added: “Retailers must give drivers a fair price for their fuel, by passing on any savings at the pump.

“Fuel Finder will ensure retailers share real-time prices, making them more accountable to drivers.”

Driving licences

The Government announced earlier this year that it would look to roll out digital driving licences before the end of 2025.

This forms part of a wider digital switch, with the digital Veteran ID being rolled out in October in the first phase of the plan.

Speaking to GB News, a Government spokesperson said: “Later this year, we plan to begin rolling out an initial digital driving licence, which will eventually be usable for everything your paper licence is currently used for.”

COP30

Downing Street has confirmed that Prime Minister Keir Starmer will attend the COP30 climate conference in the Brazilian city of Belem next month.

Although it has not yet been confirmed which days he will be attending or for how long, Sir Starmer could make comments on key transport policies.

In 2023, then-Transport Secretary Mark Harper announced £70million in funding for more rapid EV chargers following a meeting at COP28 in Dubai.
