Local Police carry out special service against mobile phone use while driving

LOS BARRIOS (Agencies/Photo: illustration only) A special campaign against distractions while driving was carried out by the local Police from April 4 to 11, with controls on 454 vehicles. Eleven drivers were reported for using a mobile phone while driving, and another for another infraction. Distraction caused 608 accidents last year on Spanish roads, and a total of 684 deaths as a result. Using a phone while driving multiplies by four the risk of an accident. There are no statistics on the application of make-up.
