Shivani Raja MP asks Written Parliamentary Question on mobile phone use while driving

Image shows the question, 'To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many drivers received six penalty points for using a hand-held mobile telephone while driving in each of the last five years.'

Pedestrians should be safe on our streets. No one should have to worry that a distracted driver could put their life at risk.

That's why I'm pushing to ensure those breaking the law are held accountable. We must continue to take dangerous driving seriously and make our roads safer for everyone.

Safer Streets and Better Neighbourhoods

Making Leicester safer must be everyone’s top priority. We must ensure we get our fair share of police officers, work with the Police and Crime Commissioner, and promote anonymous tip lines to make our streets safer for everyone. We must also instil local pride in Leicester’s neighbourhoods by working with local resident associations and councillors to champion our area. These initiatives will tackle the issues that matter most to residents, and make Leicester a safer place to live, learn and work.
