A Polish police department based just outside of the nation’s capital has explained how it is using drones to catch motorists using their smartphones while driving. As the police explain, those found guilty of the crime can expect a fine of 500zł (€106) and 12 penalty points.
In a press release on its website, the Piaseczno police department reminded the public of the dangers of using a phone while driving.
The article from the police also showed how officers in Piaseczno have carried out activities using drones.
The drones themselves are equipped with special cameras with high zoom functionality, allowing for “detailed observation of the behavior of drivers”.
The police said its findings were that drivers very often use their phones handheld while stopped at traffic lights.
13 fines were issued during the action, which police say is attended to “draw attention to drivers that road safety depends to a large extent on ourselves and the decisions we make while sitting behind the wheel of a vehicle.”
