Police tackling fatal five offences!

Dear Resident,

Officers from Bushey and Radlett Neighbourhood Policing Team have been to Magistrates Courts in relation two drivers that where seen to be using their mobile phone whilst driving.

Both drivers have been found guilty for the offence and one has been disqualified from driving and the other has a hearing at a later date to decide if they are going to be disqualified.

There are five main causes of death on the road. These are known as the Fatal Five. Irresponsible driving risks not only your life but the lives of others too. It only takes a brief glance at your phone for a fatal accident to happen. Whatever it is will still be there when you are in a safe place to answer it. This means safely parked, off the road, with the engine switched off and the keys out of the ignition.

Some ways to avoid the temptation:
Switch off your phone or device before you set off
Divert your phone to voicemail
For Apple iPhones – go to settings, Control Centre and tap ‘Do not disturb while driving’
For Android users – download the Live2Txt app. This allows you to block calls and texts whilst on the road.
 

Kind Regards
