Everyone knows it’s an offence to use a phone when driving !

It’s a distraction and is a dangerous offence!

Using a phone while driving is defined as any interaction with a phone or device while operating a vehicle including:

✅Illuminating the screen
✅Checking the time
✅Checking notifications
✅Unlocking the device
✅Making, receiving, or rejecting a telephone or internet-based call
✅Sending, receiving or uploading oral or written content
✅Sending, receiving or uploading a photo or video
✅ Utilising camera, video, or sound recording functionality
✅Drafting any text
✅Accessing any stored data such as documents, books, audio files, photos, videos, films, playlists, notes or messages
✅Accessing an application
✅Accessing the internet.
✅Scrolling social media platforms
✅Playing games

Cognitive Distractions
1. Reading or listening to messages
2. Conversing with a passenger or someone on the phone
3. Thinking about or mentally responding to a message

Visual Distractions
1. Looking at the phone’s screen
2. Watching videos or browsing the internet
3. Checking GPS or maps on the phone

Using a phone while driving is considered a form of distracted driving, which can significantly increase the risk of accidents and injuries.

Many countries have laws and regulations prohibiting the use of phones while driving, and offenders may face fines, penalties, or even license suspension.

What should I do if I'm at a red light and an emergency vehicle needs to get through?

We get asked this quite a lot so hopefully this explains.

Emergency 'blue light' vehicles have three exemptions in law. Speed limits, red lights and keep left signs.

If we are looking to make progress with blue lights and siren, we are asking you to let us through.

If possible, move over to somewhere safe and allow us past. There's no need to mount kerbs or verges or make sudden moves. We won't come past until we know you have seen us.

If you are at a red light and you can let us through, please do so but we don't want you to go through the red light, moving aside is fine but going through the light isn't. Doing so is an offence and you can be fined or receive points for doing it. Similarly, going through a red light and ending up in a collision could place liability on you.

If we can't make progress we do something called effective non-use. The lights stay on, the siren goes off. This is saying 'I'd like to come through when I can'.

Other helpful things to consider would be not stopping dead in your tracks. Often it's safer to keep going and let us pass in a safe place.

Stopping on a bend, the brow of a hill or directly opposite another vehicle makes it harder to get past too. In these situations it's better that you keep going until the road opens up and we can pass safely when we have a view.

The bottom line is, we don't want you to commit offences to let us through, just make it easier for us to get past if you can.
