Company drivers employed by Telford-based Hager UK will no longer be allowed to make or take calls while driving, as part of a range of measures to reduce risk for those who drive at work. Motorists are four times more likely to crash while using a mobile phone.
Hager’s ban has been implemented after a company director was believed to have become the first person in Britain to be convicted of careless driving over the use of a hands-free mobile phone.
