Crawley, October 29, 2024 — A heavy goods vehicle (HGV) driver was stopped by the Vanguard Road Safety Team on the M23 near Crawley after officers observed him using a handheld mobile phone while driving.
A spokesperson for the Vanguard Road Safety Team said, “Using a mobile phone while driving significantly impairs reaction times and puts lives at risk, especially in large vehicles like HGVs. Covering internal cameras is equally concerning as it compromises safety monitoring.
