49 caught in seatbelt and phone blitz
POLICE caught more than 40 drivers not wearing seatbelts in just three hours in one Hampshire town.
Road safety officers also caught nine people using their mobile phones while driving when they monitored traffic in Bishopstoke Road, Leigh Road and Southampton Road in Eastleigh.
Two cars were also seized for being driven without a valid tax disc in yesterday’s operation.
Thirty-four of the motorists caught not wearing a seatbelt chose to attend a road safety presentation rather than pay a fine.
