In an effort to make our roads safer, Police are using more creative efforts to catch and deter people from using their mobiles while driving and at traffic lights.

They have begun teaming with council bus services to sit in the top of the double-decker buses and observe drivers. This allows them a great vantage point to look into cars and see drivers, which they can then radio into other officers. Not only do drivers get a hefty fine they also receive 6 points on their licence.

Police have also introduced new lower set cameras that will give cameras a clear shot of the driver and whether they are breaking the law, it will also work like a normal camera and send a fine and points form to the keeper who will then pass it to the driver at the time if it wasn’t themselves.

A way that they are catching driver on the motorway on their phones is by having officers driving and using artic lorries which, again offers a great vantage point allowing them to view drivers.

So remember to never text and drive, because no text is worth engendering yourself or others.

While Apple is permitted to test autonomous vehicles, it doesn’t have a driverless car permit, meaning the company is still required to have a driver in the car just in case of emergencies.

Do you think they should remove the drivers?

On a sad but important note, there was a bus crash in Coventry. However, the driver was warned about is ‘deteriorating standard of driving’ before the incident.

The 77-year-old bus driver killed two people as he crashed into a supermarket. The Birmingham Crown Court has said he pressed down the accelerator instead of the brake. This occurred in October 2015.

Learn how not to fail your MOT with the following easy tips:

Prepare yourself…

1. Coolant leak

You may be surprised but fluids such as engine coolants and screen wash can leak but aren’t considered reasons for failure.

Your vehicle can fail the MOT if the fluid creates a pool on the floor within five minutes, or if there are many leaks which collectively leak fluid at the same rate.

2. Exhaust hole

The exhaust will only fail an MOT if there is a major leak or emissions are said to be unsafe.

A minor leak or corrosion would be pointed out as an advisory note but would pass.

3. Worn Tyres

Car tyres must provide enough grip for drivers to be able to control their vehicle efficiently and brake. There is a legal tread depth of 1.6mm, if they’re above this you’ll pass.
