EATING a burger and chips, reading a map and applying mascara ... are these Grimsby's most distracted motorists?
These road safety offenders have all been spotted in North East Lincolnshire doing things they shouldn't behind the wheel – and although they may seem harmless, the message today is: "Minor lapses in concentration can lead to tragic consequences".
These "spots" were made by Telegraph readers after we appealed for you to share your experiences on the region's roads.
Video footage, available to view online now at www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk, shows a driver in central Grimsby flouting a red light.
An anonymous motorcyclist using a headcam has filmed footage showing the car stationary at the junction of Victoria Street North and Frederick Ward Way, in Grimsby, before it turns right – defying a red light.
Although it appears that the driver mistook the green lights showing for other lanes as a signal to go, the video serves as a warning to all that mistakes can be dangerous – not just to ourselves, but other road users.
The motorcyclist also sent in footage showing a driver at the wheel in St Peter's Avenue, Cleethorpes, holding an object in his right hand.
Other readers have reported:
A man on his mobile driving through the town centre, driving erratically due to being distracted.
A man eating a takeaway meal on his knee – chips, drink and a burger – while driving on the A180.
A woman putting on full make-up in a traffic jam, including applying mascara. As a consequence, her car kept rolling back and the driver behind had to beep twice to alert her to put her brake or handbrake on.
A man reading a map, covering the whole steering wheel.
Several cyclists without lights, including three in Cleethorpe Road in one go.
A cyclist from Grimsby, who did not wish to be named, came forward with her own alarming experience in Weelsby Road, Grimsby.
She said: "Fire engines came out from Peaks Lane as I was riding along Weelsby Road, approaching Peaks Parkway.
"Traffic was already at a stop at the Hainton pub junction to let the engines out, so cars had seen me too.
"But then a car driver squashed me into the gutter. I had no idea how he did not scrape his car on my wheel or knock me onto the pavement.
"I had my front and back lights on, and was wearing a helmet, fluorescent gloves and a waistcoat … what more can I have done, riding in a cycle lane?"
The Grimsby Telegraph is highlighting hazards on our roads as part of National Road Safety Week, which ends tomorrow.
Sergeant Stuart Farquharson, of Humberside Police's roads policing unit, said: "The video clip of the car in Victoria Street North has all the hallmarks of the driver seeing the green light and thinking that it refers to him, when it doesn't.
"They would, if stopped by police, be liable for a fixed penalty ticket of £100 and have three penalty points on their licence.
"It is important people concentrate. Minor lapses in concentration can lead to tragic consequences.
"With mobile phone offences, for example, a lot of people think that if they are driving with the phone on loudspeaker without holding the phone to their ear, they are fine.
"But even if it is in your hand there is an offence committed, even if it is being used as a satellite navigation system or for getting data, it is still classed as an offence."
