A new survey has shown the extent to which some drivers continue to be distracted by their mobile phones while driving, despite using the devices being illegal if you are behind the wheel.

The theme for this year's Road Safety Week has been announced and it will encourage everyone in Britain to 'Step Up for Safe Streets'.

Following on from IAM Roadsmart's advice earlier this month on being prepared for summer driving, the organisation has come up with a list of what you should be keeping in your car in case of emergencies all year round.

Drivers are struggling more with the issue of glare from the headlights of other cars now than they were a year ago, according to a new poll.
