Two new number plate changes will come into effect from Tuesday.
From March 1, new vehicles will have to be fitted with a tougher and more durable plate that will resist damage and abrasion.
These new plates will be in use on all "22" plated vehicles - rather than the current "71".

From March 1, the new number plates for cars and vans will also be made from a new material, which is supposedly tougher.
They are reportedly more resistant to damage and abrasion.
Number plates can now only display solid black lettering as two tone plates that used different shades to create a 3D or 4D effect have been banned.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras will be able to read the plate more easily as a result, according to travel and traffic experts, Birmingham Live reports.
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%.
“What we expect to see in 2022 is the second-hand market benefiting 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.”
