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.
