EYES on the road? Not this driver — one of several snapped using his mobile while driving.
RECORD numbers of motorists are being prosecuted for driving while using a mobile phone.
But the safety message is still not getting through.
The Oldham Chronicle photographed six motorists — including a taxi driver — breaking the law in the space of half an hour at Mumps roundabout.
If they had been caught by the police they could have been hit with a £60 fine and three points on their licence.
Don’t be a mobile menace: distraction can kill. The Chronicle has campaigned for better driving since 2006
