UK: Decorating Your Car For Christmas Could Land You A £1000 Fine

Decorating Your Car for Christmas

Whilst Christmas car decorations may add some festive cheer, lights, reindeer antlers, ribbons and tinsel should all be avoided on the inside and outside of your vehicle. One of the main risks is if any decorations obstruct your view which could lead to three points on your licence and up to £1,000 in fines.

If any decorations were also to detach from your car, they could pose a risk to others on the road. If this was to happen you could face a charge of ‘careless driving’ and land a fixed £100 penalty and three points on your licence as well as in more serious cases, nine points on your licence and a £5,000 fine – or you may be disqualified from driving altogether.
