Your local NPT team have out this morning in Outer North West Leeds dealing with traffic offences. Not wearing a seatbelt and using a mobile phone whilst driving are factors commonly seen in fatal road traffic incidents. Just three officers stopped over 10 drivers who were text/talking or using their phone in just over 1 hour!
We were not out there to hand out tickets to every offender, we were educating people at the roadside and wherever possible we were recommending that offenders attend educational courses, rather than recommending that they get points and a fine.
Please drive responsibly. 👍🚗🚓
