The Local Police of Cartagena collaborates with the General Direction of Traffic in the Road Safety campaign that will be carried out from May 29 to 31 and whose purpose is the reduction of traffic accidents due to distractions at the wheel.
The main reason for this campaign is to make citizens aware of the importance of responsible driving.
However, it is also addressed to other groups such as pedestrians, where it is common to observe reckless behavior, especially in the urban environment.
Among the most frequent distractions is the use of the mobile, an action that is classified as a very dangerous practice by 94% of drivers according to a study by the RACC.
However, despite their danger, 43% of young people use the Whatsapp while driving, according to surveys of more than 6,000 young Europeans.
During this campaign Local Police officers will check that drivers do not use the mobile phone while driving, use headphones or handle GPS, among other behaviors that may distract while driving.
