Tráfico road safety campaign this week

[Janet]

Tráfico is carrying out one its periodic specific road safety control campaigns this week. The campaign starts today and lasts until Sunday 29th, and will focus on conventional roads rather than motorways, with police checking speeds, safe driving including overtaking and mobile phone use, drink and drugs, seatbelts, a whole range of general road safety issues. As usual, the campaign will involve checkpoints, and use support from local police forces.

Readers regularly comment that it's "about time they policed the roads", but of course Tráfico works all year round! This campaign, like all other similar ones, are just an additional specific focus on particular issues, whether seatbelts, drink driving, child seats, vehicle integrity, etc. Over the next week, drivers can therefore expect to see extra control points, with some 25,000 control checks carried out daily, on all types of roads.

Ohhh I've been doing it wrong!  I do watch my speed, overtake and wear a seatbelt, but I'm not so hot on the mobile phone use.  Also can you please confirm how much drink and drugs I need to have in case I get pulled over??
