🚨 FAO the drivers using their phone to film a collision scene on the M5 yesterday while passing police , look out for your fines! Using a mobile behind the wheel is dangerous and irresponsible. Let's keep our focus where it belongs—on the road. #DriveSafe #NoDistractions #Fatal5.

This driver presents a significant risk to pedestrians & other road users! A level of driving that is reckless & selfish! This is Lysander Rd, Yeovil just after midday today, when we detected this driver at 72mph in a 30mph limit. #Fatal5 Now watch this:

We are working across the region to address the high number of motorcyclists involved in collisions on our roads. Working with partners such as @SC_RoadSafety we want to understand more about the factors involved and develop operations & initiatives to address this risk.
