Mobile phone safety campaign

A road safety campaign aimed at stopping people using their phone while driving has been launched in Scotland.

Transport Minister Humza Yousaf announced Looks Can Kill with the A9 Safety Group, which claims motorists are four times more likely to crash if using a mobile while behind the wheel.

Research shows social media and technology are causing a major distraction to Scottish drivers. Mr Yousaf said the Scottish Government was “committed” to achieving safer road travel.
