Police warn against distracted driving

Speaking in an interview with The Monitor, Sefatlhi expressed concern that despite ongoing law enforcement efforts, many drivers still use phones while behind the wheel. He said this behaviour remains one of the leading causes of road crashes recorded in the district.

Sefatlhi explained that mobile phones significantly reduce a driver’s concentration on the road, often leading to vehicles veering off the road or drifting into oncoming lanes. This, he said, places not only the distracted driver at risk but also other innocent road users.
