Operation to target people using mobile phones while driving
People using a mobile phone while driving will be targeted in a dedicated operation by Cumbria police.
The NPCC National Mobile Phone Operation runs for two weeks from February and will highlight the work done all year round by officers.
Driving while using a mobile phone and even a hands-free device can distract drivers recognising and reacting to hazards.
Cumbria police said while using hands-free devices was legal, they can be just as distracting.
A spokesman added: “The best place for your phone to not distract while driving is in the glove box or out of sight.”
