Marlborough Police are catching more drivers who are not properly restrained and/or are using their phones illegally when driving.
Local Highway Patrol Officer Sergeant Andy Holmes is concerned that drivers are continuing to make careless decisions, particularly around restraints and distractions.
“They’re putting themselves and everyone else on the road at risk,” he says.
“While it’s encouraging to see fewer lives being lost on Marlborough roads, worryingly we’re seeing more people illegally using their phones while driving and not using proper restraints.
