UK Police Seize Cell Phones Used While Driving
[From article]
Police are to start seizing drivers’ mobile phones after a crash in order to check whether they were texting or calling while at the wheel.
Previously mobiles have only been taken when drivers are seriously injured or killed in a crash, but new guidelines issued by the Association of Chief Police Officers says that officers should check drivers’ mobiles even in the event of a minor shunt.
The intent is to crack down on mobile distractions while driving, with recent reports suggesting that more than 500 people are killed or seriously injured each year in the UK because drivers have been calling, texting or posting to social media.
