Our new campaign with the Safer Roads Greater Manchester partnership aims to warn drivers about the potentially life changing consequences of using mobile phone behind the wheel. Distractions can make drivers slower to recognise and react to dangers on the road. Using a mobile phone while driving is a significant cause of road traffic collisions in Greater Manchester, leading to death and life changing injury of drivers, passengers and others.
