Employers warned about drivers using mobile phones

Read the latest Road accident news in the UK.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) today warned employers to introduce policies and conditions to their working environments to help reduce the number of accidents on the road caused by drivers using mobile phones.

There are various statistics available about drivers concentration levels being drastically affected whilst using mobile phones behind the wheel. The law introduced a few years ago that made this practice an offence, has not resulted in a dramatic drop in the general usage of mobiles whilst driving.

From the 27th February 2007, drivers will be fined more and will receive 3 points on their licence if convicted. You may have been involved in a road accident and wish to seek compensation.

RoSPA are urging employers to deal with the issues as disciplinary offences in order to deliver a clear message regarding the seriousness of the drivers actions.

More information and news will follow on this subject in due course.
