Cheshire Police Clamp Down on Fatal Four

Cheshire Police are clamping down on drivers who breach the fatal four causes of road accidents, during a week-long operation.

The Fatal Four campaign, which runs until Sunday September 18, aims to highlight the dangers of drink driving, speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, and using a mobile phone at the wheel – the four main causes of death or injury on Cheshire's roads.

In previous weeks there have been a number of serious and fatal collisions on the region's roads, highlighting how important it is for officers to ensure motorists are driving safely.

Police and Crime Commissioner David Keane, said:

"During my conversations with Cheshire residents road safety has been an issue that has been frequently raised as a local priority and it is essential that our police service takes a pro-active role in keeping the county's roads safe.

"Irresponsible behaviour behind the wheel can have wide reaching effects.

"I fully support the Fatal Four campaign and the work being undertaken to ensure our roads are safer for everyone in our communities.

"Educating motorists is an important part of this work but where people choose to ignore the law and impact on the safety of others it is only right that action is taken."

If you have been injured on the roads and somebody else was to blame, contact our claims team to see if you may be entitled to compensation. Speak to us in confidence on 01625 522 429.
