Essential reading
Read about the new technology which is helping @ThamesVP and @HantsPolice officers stop drivers using their phones:

3/3 #ItsNotWorthTheRisk
We welcome this new technology - it can help drivers think about their actions while they are driving and hopefully encourage them to leave their phone alone

Check out the video for our No Look, No Touch, No Phone campaign.
We showcased Last Texts across the North East, using a range of multi-media which included billboards, geo-tags on mobile phones, live events with giant iPhone 'tombstones', and more.

The only thing you should concentrate on when driving is the act of driving safely itself - distractions put the lives of other road users at risk! #ThursdayThoughts #ThursdayMotivation #RoadSafety #fatal4 #BePhoneSmart #ItCanWait
A further horrendous example of what can happen when a driver is distracted...

We are reminding road users not to use mobile phones while driving. You are four times more likely to be involved in a collision if using your phone behind the wheel, which can and often will lead to tragic consequences #BePhoneSmart
How would you feel if you caused a collision simply because you had a text to send? Another shocking example - we ask every driver to #BePhoneSmart gloucestershirelive.co.uk/ne…
Could this technology be less distracting to drivers that touchscreens? @Acura in North America seems to think so... teapawt.net/DerekTMcKinney/status/…
An interesting piece of work - highlighting the need for drivers to stay focused on the road, and how technology needs to assist with this and no detract from it #BePhoneSmart teapawt.net/karlsluis/status/10091…

ALT “…even when our participants weren’t performing tasks associated with the touchscreen, their eyes were still drawn away from the road and towards the screen…” from “Why touchscreens in cars don’t work” by Jacky Li.
A very sad story. Regardless of the penalties, drivers need to believe they will get caught breaking the law and putting lives at risk. Education is also key as we try and show through BePhoneSmart.uk #BePhoneSmart teapawt.net/Brakecharity/status/10…
Heartbreaking story highlighting the devastating impact that phone use behind the wheel can have. Government needs to crack down on this dangerous behaviour by introducing tougher sentences and investing in more roads policing! #PhoneSmart #RoadstoJustice bit.ly/2Jf1Vzz
#BePhoneSmart and use your mobile safely in the car this bank holiday teapawt.net/THINKgovuk/status/9923…
New South Wales, Australia is pushing ahead with plans to catch drivers illegally using phones using new cameras. Could this technology help kick UK drivers' addiction? @melindapaveyMP @OneTaskBA centralwesterndaily.com.au/s… via @CWD_Orange #bephonesmart #distracteddriving
Another tragic case. Handheld phone use and driving just don't mix #bephonesmart teapawt.net/CumbriaCrack/status/98…
