Between Monday 27 February and Sunday 12 March officers from the Roads Policing Unit will be supporting the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s campaign targeting the minority of drivers who make calls and send texts when they should be paying attention to the road.
Using a phone while driving is one of the offences dubbed the ‘fatal four’ as it is one of the biggest contributing factors to fatal and serious injury collisions. The other factors are speeding, failing to wear a seat belt and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
