200 motorists caught on mobile phone


A SHOCK 12-day crackdown saw 200 motorists caught using a mobile phone while driving.

The alarming figure points to a huge increase in the number of drivers flouting the law -
which has already been toughened up.

If these figures were applied to a whole year, it would mean that an average of more
than 6,000 people could be putting lives in danger.

This would triple last year's shock figures of more than 2,000.

The action was part of work to crack down on those who continue to ignore
the laws in relation to mobile phones.


IT IS A PITY SOME NHS STAFF ARE AMONG THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO
IGNORE THE LAWS - THERE SHOULD BE ZERO TOLERANCE AND IT BE
TREATED AS GROSS MISCONDUCT WHILE IN OFFICE
