The Donegal Road Safety Working Group has launched a new campaign, encouraging drivers to use a mobile phone signal blocker pouch when driving in a bid to target phone use while driving.
Donegal Road Safety Officer, Brian O’Donnell says research shows that mobile phone use by drivers, which is every bit as dangerous as drink driving, has reached epidemic proportions.
The Road Safety Working Group have intoduced a Signal Blocker, a mobile phone pouch that is lined with specialist material and once sealed blocks all calls and alerts to the device.
Mr O’Donnell says those travelling on a daily basis may benefit greatly from the signal pouch, eliminating distraction while driving:
