Lancashire Constabulary caught more drivers on their phones in Preston than anywhere else in the county, according to new figures.
The force recorded a whopping 2,352 offences between April 2023 and March this year.
Personal injury claim specialists Accident Claims Advice learned that Preston was the location for 513 of them, or around a fifth of the total.
That makes it Lancashire’s capital of mobile phone offences, where drivers are caught using a device while operating a vehicle.
Given the £200 fixed penalty for the offence, Preston drivers alone were hit with £102,600 worth of fines in just over two years.
Blackburn and Blackpool were also regular locations for distracted drivers, according to Lancashire Constabulary.
