The number of people using mobile phones while driving has "disappointed" Dunedin police. Intersection operations focusing on enforcement and monitoring speed continued across the city on Wednesday, during which many drivers were caught driving in an unsafe manner. A police spokesman said it was disappointing drivers were using cellphones while driving, which was distracting and unsafe. Later on Wednesday, a 58-year-old man ran a red light while driving down Stuart St on to London St, resulting in a crash, at 10.34pm. The vehicle that ran the red light crashed into a vehicle driven by a 61-year-old female, the spokesman said.
