The enforcement will take place at all safety camera sites across Kent and Medway between 16 and 22 February. Anyone spotted on camera using a phone or not wearing a seat belt will be pulled over by Kent Police Officers. A mobile phone offence carries a £60 fine and 3 points and a seat belt offence results in a £30 fine (the driver will be fined if children under 16 are not restrained correctly).
Katherine Barrett, Communications Officer for the Partnership said: "Our safety cameras are at locations where people have been killed or seriously injured, so by reducing the number of offences committed at these sites we hope to lower casualties even further. We are not coy about our operations and all the camera locations and statistics can be seen at www.kmscp.org".
Chief Inspector Roscoe Walford, Head of Roads Policing said: "There are four main factors that contribute to collisions that end with serious consequences; they are speeding, being distracted while driving (talking on the telephone), not wearing seat belts and drink driving."
