The aim of this compendium is to provide you with the tools needed to develop an informed approach to tackling mobile phone use by drivers - an approach that is based upon an understanding of the problem in context , draws on research evidence and engages with the need for evaluation .
Of course , you can use the principles we cover here ( rather than the specific ideas ) for a range of other issues too , making this compendium a useful tool for a range of practitioners and professionals across road safety and roads policing .
