PCSO Price and PCSO Wills have been visiting our schools at drop off and collection times to conduct some safer outside schools patrols. On a recent visit to Wombridge Primary School we were shocked and horrified to witness at least 3 parents driving while using their mobile phones. This was also approaching the zebra crossing while there were children crossing the road. There was at least 1 near miss. 

The use of mobile phones while driving is extremely dangerous and forms part of the 'fatal four', meaning that it is one of the main causes of people killed or seriously injured on our roads. A cost of a life is not worth the few minutes wait to use your phone while you pull over.

Using a mobile while driving attracts a fine of £200 and 6 points on your licence. We will be dealing with any offenders robustly in future and no excuses will be accepted.
