The authorities took to Facebook to advise the public: “Please never hold/use your mobile phone while driving. It is so important that you are not distracted in any way whilst behind the wheel of any type of vehicle.
“Please check your tyres regularly and even more regularly when the tread depth reaches 3mm. The legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm. The more worn your tyres become, the less grip they will have on the road surface.”
