STOP THE USE OF MOBILE PHONES WHILE DRIVING

Driving while using a mobile phone is a grave traffic offence, it can cause both physical and mental distraction which impairs driving performance. Research shows that using a mobile phone while driving increases the risk of crashing by at least four times.

Dialing, texting and talking on a mobile phone while driving can lead to:
• Riskier decision making.
• Slower reactions.
• Wandering out of your lane:
There is little or no difference between a mobile phone user and a drunk driver.
• Slower and less controlled braking.
• Not being alert to your surroundings.

The more you talk the less you see! When your mind is not on the road, someone could die. Park your car to answer a call or text. Culled: FRSC facebook page
