Motorists will be subject to two number plate changes coming into force within weeks.
Cars registered from March 1 will be given a 22 tag instead of the current 71 registration number.
The new plates - for both cars and vans - will also be made from new materials.
These materials are said to be tougher making them more resistant to both damage and abrasion, reports Birmingham Live.
The changes also mean that number plates can now only display solid black lettering as two tone plates using different shades to create a 3D or 4D effect.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras will be able to read the plate more easily as a result, according to travel and traffic experts.
James Fairclough, CEO of AA Financial Services, commented on the car market in 2022.
He said: “The promise of fresh car demand in 2022 is welcome news, following a challenging year for the car industry.
“The impact of Covid and the global shortage of semi-conductors has seriously impacted new car registrations this year, pushing up demand for used cars.
“Previous AA research suggested that values of some used cars have risen by up to 57 percent.
“What we expect to see in 2022 is the second-hand market benefitting from resurgent car demand.
“We also believe the way people pay for their cars will change and diversify.
“The economic uncertainty of Covid and the transition to electric cars will continue to influence drivers until the traditional notion of paying full-price for a car and keeping it for as long as possible is something for the history books.”
