mobile devices and theft
More and more people carry mobile phones and MP3 players. They’re small, easy to resell and have a relatively high value. Because of this, levels of theft remain quite high. Children and young people form the majority of both victims and perpetrators.
mobiles and driving
Not only a bad idea, it’s also illegal to use a mobile or any hand-held device while you’re driving. From 2007, the penalties are a minimum £60 fine and three penalty points. All you need to do is be using a mobile behind the wheel, with the engine running.
mobiles on foot and cycling
We’re used to using all our senses when we’re out and about, whether we’re walking or cycling. When we’re talking on a mobile, we’re not really listening to the world around us, or generally paying as much attention as usual.
