Drivers risking lives to check Facebook behind the wheel David Bizley, technical director, said: ""These offences don't yet have the same social taboo that drink-driving now holds, which thanks to years of concerted campaigns has continued to decrease as a problem." Overall, 44 per cent said they felt less safe than ever on the roads. Almost two thirds said there was not enough police on the roads with around a quarter believing they would not get caught if they broke motoring laws. Meanwhile more than 40 per cent said they wanted to see a ban for illegal mobile phone use behind the wheel. "We welcome recent announcements that Government will tighten enforcement around drug-driving, but the planned changes focus too much on penalties rather than prevention," Mr Bizley added. Government funding should be directed to educating people through road safety campaigns to deter them from driving dangerously and putting lives at risk.
