The FATAL4 ‘clinics’ are designed to reinforce concerns
about
- speeding
- using mobile phones behind the wheel
- not wearing seatbelts
- drink driving.
On Friday, October 17, officers positioned themselves on the A6 Leicester Road for the latest FATAL4 operation. Some were plain clothes officers who would radio ahead to uniformed officers to stop people in the checkpoint area
A 42 offences were recorded in total:
- 23 drivers using mobile phones
- 16 not wearing a seatbelt
- 2 with no insurance
- 1 drink driving arrest.
Sergeant Simon Blincow said
“FATAL4 is an ongoing national operation to try and tackle the main four things that kill people on the roads.We want to influence and educate people because we see the other side of it. We go to the fatal collisions and see the bodies, we deal with the relatives, we see the tragic repercussions, that’s why we are so serious about trying to stop it.”
