:00:00. > :00:11.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight:
:00:12. > :00:16.Breaking the law ` police crack down on drivers using phones.
:00:17. > :00:18.If you're looking at a phone or texting
:00:19. > :00:25.you miss those few seconds and the consequences can be tragic.
:00:26. > :00:27.Royal Mail finally drops Hulberside from address lists,
:00:28. > :00:33.I don't live there, it doesn't exist.
:00:34. > :00:38.I wasn't born in Humberside, I was born in Yorkshire.
:00:39. > :00:42.New calls for a Boston bypass as drivers spend hours in traffic.
:00:43. > :00:44.A royal visitor drops in on a local school `
:00:45. > :00:48.Prince Andrew praises pupils' business ideas.
:00:49. > :00:57.The mystery of the war pland found by divers on the east coast.
:00:58. > :01:05.And a fine day to come tomorrow but there is a change on the wax. I
:01:06. > :01:10.would back later in the programme with the details.
:01:11. > :01:14.Mobile phone use at the whedl is increasing,
:01:15. > :01:19.despite a fall in the number of drivers being caught.
:01:20. > :01:24.as a month`long campaign targeting offenders gets underway.
:01:25. > :01:27.Officers say more people ard using smart phones, updating soci`l media
:01:28. > :01:33.But the phones are being held out of sight,
:01:34. > :01:48.The level crossing gates have gone up, you can see the phone in her
:01:49. > :01:52.left hand. She is holding it up right now. It is still in hdr hand,
:01:53. > :01:57.you can see it. The first motorist caught today using a phone `t the
:01:58. > :02:02.wheel. I am glad to tell yot that you would be eligible for an
:02:03. > :02:05.educational course and under the circumstances, that is what I will
:02:06. > :02:10.recommend. It is an offence all to familiar. Our camera easily spotted
:02:11. > :02:13.an above people talking on their phones while driving this morning.
:02:14. > :02:19.Another people caught on thdir phones behind the wheel has fallen
:02:20. > :02:24.over the last three years. Hn 2 11, it was just under 3000 whild last
:02:25. > :02:39.year, 1369 `` 1689 record. 93% were set on a course rather than
:02:40. > :02:44.receiving a final penalty points. The fall in figures may be down to
:02:45. > :02:52.technology such as Bluetooth, meaning that phone use is ldss
:02:53. > :02:58.visible. Just follow us, pldase Modern technology like smartphones
:02:59. > :03:04.mean they can be kept out of you from the police. That is wh`t the
:03:05. > :03:08.police say is difficult to detect. I have seen you come past with a
:03:09. > :03:11.mobile phone in your hand and you are pressing it with your thumb It
:03:12. > :03:18.is all text in, social medi`, looking on websites and so on. Then
:03:19. > :03:23.we have the messaging services. So people have their phone in their
:03:24. > :03:27.hand, where we can't see it. We would struggle to detect th`t a lot
:03:28. > :03:32.of the time. I'm not on the phone when I'm driving. It is one of those
:03:33. > :03:39.stupid things where you glanced down. It makes a lot of sense. I
:03:40. > :03:44.have admitted I was using it, so it is fair enough. Driving
:03:45. > :03:49.organisations say more enforcement and higher penalties are nedded to
:03:50. > :03:53.act as a deterrent in an agd where people are tied to their mobile
:03:54. > :03:57.phones. One of the problems is that many people seem almost addhcted to
:03:58. > :04:05.their phones, so if they he`r that they have got a text or a social
:04:06. > :04:10.media alert coming through, they feel compelled to look at it. That
:04:11. > :04:14.is the problem. People cannot control themselves, they should turn
:04:15. > :04:20.their phone off when they are in the car. Officers say drink`driving and
:04:21. > :04:22.not wearing a seat belt is now socially unacceptable. Attitudes
:04:23. > :04:25.need to be changed before it is the same for mobile phone use.
:04:26. > :04:30.I'm joined by Inspector Mark Hughes from Humberside Police.
:04:31. > :04:41.Good evening. Why do you thhnk it does not have the same stigla as
:04:42. > :04:45.drink driving? It hasn't, bdcause drink`driving has been long
:04:46. > :04:49.established over the years `nd it is now socially unacceptable, `s you
:04:50. > :04:59.say. Mobile phones and other such devices are now an everyday part of
:05:00. > :05:06.everyone's life. What about the numbers of people using thehr phones
:05:07. > :05:13.compare to the number being caught? I'm sure they would be frighteningly
:05:14. > :05:18.high but I do not have the numbers. If they are just reading thdir phone
:05:19. > :05:24.beneath the steering wheel hs that breaking the law? It is, yes it is
:05:25. > :05:29.extending the dangerous. It is more dangerous than using the mobile
:05:30. > :05:31.phone to have a conversation, because you are reading and not
:05:32. > :05:39.looking where you're going. Even just reading it? Because yot cannot
:05:40. > :05:45.catch that. Not always, it hs difficult. It depends on thd line of
:05:46. > :05:48.sight. That discrepancy between the number of people you catch `nd the
:05:49. > :05:53.number of people doing it, ht could be enormously high. It could be
:05:54. > :05:59.yes. If most people get sent on a course, there is not much ddterrent.
:06:00. > :06:03.There is another way of looking at that. A lot of people, becatse
:06:04. > :06:08.everyone uses mobile phones these days, they would probably t`ke the
:06:09. > :06:12.risk because not a lot of pdople get caught in relation to the ntmber who
:06:13. > :06:16.use it. If you educate people, I personally don't think people really
:06:17. > :06:24.belies the consequences `` really realise the consequences of it. It
:06:25. > :06:31.just occur to them what happens in that one or two seconds. A friend of
:06:32. > :06:37.mine said he always answers the phone if it rings. He said ht was
:06:38. > :06:42.business, he could lose bushness. What you say to people like him who
:06:43. > :06:45.be watching at the moment? H understand his rationale for
:06:46. > :06:49.answering the phone but it hs not an excuse. Whatever the reason for the
:06:50. > :06:54.call, the danger is still there It is exactly the same, whatevdr the
:06:55. > :06:58.reason. You could still havd that accident, whether it be minor,
:06:59. > :07:03.serious or the most tragic. Very good to see you. Thank you for
:07:04. > :07:04.coming into night. We are grateful. We would like your thoughts on this
:07:05. > :07:06.one. Do you think drivers
:07:07. > :07:08.who use a mobile phone Is a course enough
:07:09. > :07:11.of a deterrent to drivers? Do you use your phone while driving
:07:12. > :07:22.and what would make you stop? You have heard the story thdre and
:07:23. > :07:34.the figures. We would like xour views.
:07:35. > :07:36.18 years after the county of Humberside was abolished,
:07:37. > :07:37.campaigners have finally won their fight
:07:38. > :07:41.Royal Mail bosses have agredd to no longer put
:07:42. > :07:43.North and South Humberside in directories
:07:44. > :07:47.The county name was unpopul`r with many and frustration has grown
:07:48. > :07:50.at the continued use of Humberside on letters.
:07:51. > :07:58.Melanie Moss makes and sells chutneys, marmalades and jals.
:07:59. > :08:02.It's important to her both personally and professionally
:08:03. > :08:05.that she's seen as based in East Yorkshire.
:08:06. > :08:09.But, if you look at her post, not everyone has got the message.
:08:10. > :08:18.I just find it really, really frustrating.
:08:19. > :08:20.I don't live there, it doesn't exist.
:08:21. > :08:26.It was abolished in 1996 and, you know, everything else
:08:27. > :08:30.in the world is rushed to bd updated but we are East Yorkshire.
:08:31. > :08:34.The county of Humberside was created in 19 4,
:08:35. > :08:38.composed from the East Riding, Hull and parts of Lincolnshhre.
:08:39. > :08:42.It was abolished in 1996 after years of unpopularity
:08:43. > :08:46.and replaced with four separate authorithes.
:08:47. > :08:50.The name, though, has often lived on, even the highest places.
:08:51. > :08:54.I'm sure it will be a great success for Hull
:08:55. > :08:57.But it's one of David Cameron's own who's claiming victory todax
:08:58. > :09:02.after taking on the battle to banish the Humberside address.
:09:03. > :09:06.Eight or nine years ago, I started the campaign to s`y
:09:07. > :09:11.I didn't think it would need to be a campaign.
:09:12. > :09:15.My constituents joined together with me, sending stickers saying,
:09:16. > :09:19.address not recognised whenever any junk mail came through
:09:20. > :09:25.And it's made many of his constituents in Beverley happy,
:09:26. > :09:27.although not everyone is that bothered.
:09:28. > :09:30.Well, we've actually realisdd it doesn't exist any more,
:09:31. > :09:32.so it would be nice for it to be recognised.
:09:33. > :09:38.I was not born in Humbersidd, I was born in East Yorkshird.
:09:39. > :09:42.No problems with Humberside on postal addresses or anything like
:09:43. > :09:47.Royal Mail has said it may take time

:10:07. > :10:21.Yes, the BBC is not exempt hn this because the local radio station here
:10:22. > :10:26.for Beverley is BBC Radio Humberside. I have been told by the
:10:27. > :10:32.station editor today there `re no post change the name of the radio
:10:33. > :10:36.station, it is one of the BBC's most successful and also the namd Radio
:10:37. > :10:38.Humberside predates the County of Humberside by three years, so it has
:10:39. > :10:44.that heritage. Humberside Police have told me that when the county
:10:45. > :10:53.was abolished, there were some talk about changing the name to Humber
:10:54. > :11:00.but the cost of that would be prohibitive. Humberside fivd Brigade
:11:01. > :11:05.have the same sort of costs facing them so they have said therd are no
:11:06. > :11:09.plans in these stringent tiles and what they believe is that is the
:11:10. > :11:12.service that counts, not thd name. Thank you very much indeed.
:11:13. > :11:15.What do you think of the Royal Mail's decision
:11:16. > :11:18.Are you one of those that will miss it
:11:19. > :11:20.and think Humberside should never have been abolished?
:11:21. > :11:24.Or will you be celebrating its demise tonight?
:11:25. > :11:31.I'll be talking to Graham Stuart later on tonight.
:11:32. > :11:33.Police believe a man was st`bbed after he asked another man

:14:40. > :14:44.people here have told me thdy do think a bypass is the best option,
:14:45. > :14:45.they will be hoping that thd new road starts to ease the traffic

:16:05. > :16:07.You can make your mind up in the next few days. Tomorrow looks like a
:16:08. > :16:11.nice day, warm once again in the sunshine after any early`morning
:16:12. > :16:16.mist has lifted. As we go through the next few days, Thursday or
:16:17. > :16:19.Friday, it does not look too bad. The first storm of the autuln will
:16:20. > :16:22.push from the north`west late on Friday, bringing some wet and windy
:16:23. > :16:27.weather. With high`pressure close by, the front that is affecting us
:16:28. > :16:35.is not producing a lot of r`in. It just reduces a lot of cloud to end
:16:36. > :16:40.the day. That pushes Southe`st and has some moisture on it. Under the
:16:41. > :16:45.cloud, so mist and fog will form. In the countryside, it will be cooler.
:16:46. > :16:56.We could get a touch of frost in east Yorkshire. Sunrise at 7:04am.
:16:57. > :16:59.Some early morning mist. It will linger through the rush hour before

:17:12. > :17:15.degrees. Another dry comedy since day. That comes off the back of a
:17:16. > :17:21.very dry September, the dridst for the UK on record. That is bdcause
:17:22. > :17:25.the Jetstream has been north of us, leaving us in fine conditions. In
:17:26. > :17:28.the next few days, it will love southwards and it will steer areas
:17:29. > :17:36.of low pressure across the TK, bringing spells of unsettled
:17:37. > :17:39.weather, more seasonal weather. That starts on Friday. On Friday to

:18:41. > :18:45.partnership in June and being impressed by a board game they had
:18:46. > :18:49.designed. I can see that Hull and Yorkshire are going in a direction
:18:50. > :18:54.that they know where they nded to go and they know what young people need
:18:55. > :19:00.and what is really impressive with that is the fact that young people
:19:01. > :19:03.are responding. It was an alazing experience. He is a royal at the end
:19:04. > :19:10.of the day and he has come here today, it is a good experience, not
:19:11. > :19:18.just for us but for the whole of Hull as well. How long have you been
:19:19. > :19:23.doing this? A year. AJ? Are you paying the bills because yot are

:19:53. > :19:55.We may be the last generation to actually enjoy antibiotics.
:19:56. > :20:00.so you have to think about the legacy of where we are now.
:20:01. > :20:03.If we can't kill something, for example like ebola,
:20:04. > :20:10.Thanks to everyone who got hn touch about packed lunches yesterday.
:20:11. > :20:12.It was after a primary school in Hull
:20:13. > :20:17.was forced to change a policy of getting 11`year`old pupils
:20:18. > :20:24.to check younger childrens' lunches for unhealthy snacks.
