A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
A third of bobbies in Britain are using safety cams to fine Brits for not wearing seatbelts or using a mobile phone.
Officers are lurking in roadside vans trying to catch out the law-breaking motorists using the new method, a road safety charity has claimed.
And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

And when caught, drivers are being slapped with a £200 fine and six penalty points if they're spotted on the phone - and a £100 fine for failing to buckle up.
An IAM RoadSmart investigation found 16 police forces in the UK routinely use mobile safety cameras to seek out “other offences”.

CLEVER TRICK: The camera method is a good way of catching out drivers on their phones
Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: "For too many drivers it is only the fear of being caught that will stop them putting themselves and others at risk.
"If drivers don’t know about this added enforcement technique then its impact will be reduced so the police should have no hesitation in publicising its use.
"What we need are clear and consistent guidelines on what the cameras are being used for, what training staff are being given and how the images are being used as evidence.
"The last thing we want to see are resources being wasted or the road safety message being diluted by careless drivers being acquitted."
