A South Yorkshire Police campaign aims to raise awareness about the ‘Fatal Four’ leading causes of road deaths and serious injury throughout April.
Through social media and presentations, SYP hope to tackle issues such as using mobile phones and wearing seatbelts.
15 people have been killed on the roads this year in South Yorkshire and over 200 were caught breaking the law since the start of the year.
The Fatal Four are:
- Inappropriate speed and not driving according to road/weather conditions
- Using a mobile phone behind the wheel
- Not wearing a seatbelt
- Drink/drug driving
The campaign is now in its third week and will be addressing seatbelts.

Last year, 1500 people died on the roads in England, making campaigns such as this vital for public safety.
This is a growing number, showing that informing and spreading awareness remains important.
By driving dangerously, people are not only putting their lives at risk, but the lives of others too.
The campaign is accessible on all main social media platforms like X, Facebook and TikTok.
