Warwickshire Police ‘supercab’ catches 25 drivers using phones behind the wheel

Officers using Warwickshire Police's 'supercab' caught 25 motorists using mobile phones while driving in one month. The crackdown was part of Operation Tramline, which sees officers travelling as a HGV passenger allowing higher vantage point to see into other vehicles.

They used the 'supercab' across the region's major roads throughout July, catching dozens of motorists along the way. Police say stats from using a mobile while driving, not wearing a seat belt and speeding are "tragically clear" costing thousands of lives on UK roads each year.
