Today we are exploring the Phone Pandemic!
Campaign set up to warn kids about using phones around roads. In 2019 6,200 pedestrians were killed or had life-changing injuries on UK roads. More than one in five of those people (1,415) were aged 17 or under – that’s around a whole class of schoolchildren EVERY week. Accident data shows those aged 11 to 14 are the most likely to be killed or badly hurt – around 50 EVERY month. Phones are labelled as one of the biggest distractions for pedestrians
