For true road transport professionals, every road accident is one too many and the road transport industry has always been and will continue to be committed to reducing the number and severity of accidents involving heavy commercial road vehicles by promoting a culture of road safety within the sector. Nowadays, mobile telephones have become a main source of communication, but, using a mobile phone is a major cause of both physical and mental distraction, impairing driving performance and increasing the risk of vehicles being involved in accidents.
