3/3 #ItsNotWorthTheRisk
We welcome this new technology - it can help drivers think about their actions while they are driving and hopefully encourage them to leave their phone alone
U.K. police have unveiled a new device that can detect when motorists are using their mobile phones while driving bloom.bg/2KwZ6vp
A further horrendous example of what can happen when a driver is distracted...

Could this technology be less distracting to drivers that touchscreens? @Acura in North America seems to think so... nitter.gq/DerekTMcKinney/status/…
An interesting piece of work - highlighting the need for drivers to stay focused on the road, and how technology needs to assist with this and no detract from it #BePhoneSmart nitter.gq/karlsluis/status/10091…
"Why touchscreens in cars don't work" - Jacky Li uxdesign.cc/why-touchscreens…
ALT “…even when our participants weren’t performing tasks associated with the touchscreen, their eyes were still drawn away from the road and towards the screen…” from “Why touchscreens in cars don’t work” by Jacky Li.
A very sad story. Regardless of the penalties, drivers need to believe they will get caught breaking the law and putting lives at risk. Education is also key as we try and show through BePhoneSmart.uk #BePhoneSmart nitter.gq/Brakecharity/status/10…
Heartbreaking story highlighting the devastating impact that phone use behind the wheel can have. Government needs to crack down on this dangerous behaviour by introducing tougher sentences and investing in more roads policing! #PhoneSmart #RoadstoJustice bit.ly/2Jf1Vzz
