PROHIBITION<br />

We have the largest range of Prohibition signs on the market. However we are<br />

always delighted to hear from you for any suggestions for signs you think should be<br />

included in our range.<br />

Mobile Phone Prohibition<br />

A substantial body of research shows that using a hand-held or hands-free mobile<br />

phone while driving is a significant distraction, and substantially increases the risk of<br />

the driver crashing.<br />

Drivers who use a mobile phone, whether hand-held or hands-free:<br />

• are much less aware of what’s happening on the road around them<br />

• fail to see road signs<br />

• fail to maintain proper lane position and steady speed<br />

• are more likely to ‘tailgate’ the vehicle in front<br />

• react more slowly and take longer to brake<br />

• are more likely to enter unsafe gaps in traffic<br />

• feel more stressed and frustrated.<br />

They are also four times more likely to crash, injuring or killing themselves and/or other<br />

people. – RoSPA<br />
