Distraction, and especially the use of the smartphone, is an important cause of traffic accidents. According to figures, between 5 and 25% of the accidents are due to distraction.
“Calling behind the wheel triples the risk of an accident,” the police emphasize. “With these actions we want to make drivers aware of the dangers and thus increase road safety.”
The national control promotion takes place twice a year. With the announcement of the action, the police hope that administrators will adjust their behavior before they are checked.
