🚔 Our colleagues at Devon & Cornwall Police have set up an Acusensus AI trailer on the A3059 at St Mawgan.
📸 The system detects distraction offences (including use of a mobile phone) and drivers not wearing a seatbelt.
🚗 In 2024, 29% of all fatal collisions in Devon & Cornwall involved people who were not wearing seatbelts. Distracted driving is also one of the 'Fatal Five' most common causes of collisions.
