Police are cracking down on those using their mobile phones behind wheel.

The Department of Infrastructure is also behind the campaign, reminding drivers that they face a £1000 fine if caught using their mobiles whilst driving.

Distractions such as mobile phones caused 39 crashes on the Island's roads last year.
