he might as well have The words of a judge as she jailed | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
lorry driver Tomasz Kroker for ten years after he killed a mother | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
and three children. His lorry ploughed into stationary | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
vehicles on the A34 in August while he was looking | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
at his mobile phone. Today the family has appealdd | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
for all motorists to Hurtling towards destruction, | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
video released by police in conjunction with the victims | :01:08. | :01:18. | |
families shows Tomasz Kroker scrolling through his mobild phone | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
playlist, his lorry closing rapidly Moments later, children Eth`n, | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
Josh and Aimee were dead, together with the boy's | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
mother, Tracy Houghton. Their car crushed to a third | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
of its size, pushed In the moments Mr Kroker chose | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
to look at his phone, he caused a multiple vehicld | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
accident that endangered all surrounding road users `nd took | :01:49. | :01:51. | |

Mr Kroker's use of his mobile phone while driving turned his lorry | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
into a lethal weapon. Video seen by the judge exposed | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
the wider family's emotional trauma. I thought that was the worst day | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
of the life, my kids being killed, but I think it was three wedks later | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
when I went to the funeral directors and saw them dead, | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
cold, in their coffins. Witnesses said Mr Kroker | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
was in tears after the crash but insisted his brakes had failed | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
until he was confronted The death toll could easily have | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
been far higher. people who saw the footage says | :02:38. | :03:01. | |
public attitudes must changd. Savage. What do you think ndeds to | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
happen? Harsher rules. It should be more than just a fine. Therd needs | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
to be an educational course with videos like this. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
It's unimaginable. They werd just so innocent. There needs to be some | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
sort of immobilisation when you let into a car. | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
The family say this was one of the worst incidents of its kind | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
involving a mobile phone. They hope it serves as a reminder that the | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
decisions we make can be fatal. From next year the fines and penalty | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
points for using a phone behind But last month a BBC investhgation | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
found the number of drivers actually caught by police has fallen | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
in the last five years. It's down by three quarters | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
in Sussex and Dorset. The biggest drop was in Wiltshire, | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
falling almost 80%. Last year, just over 400 | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
drivers were sanctioned. While research from the RAC motoring | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
organisation suggests a fifth of motorist now believe it hs safe | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
to check social media on thdir phone while stopped in traffic A little | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
earlier I asked Nick Lyes from the RAC what needs to be done | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
to tackle the problem of phone use I think what we need | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
is a triple pronged approach. We welcome the fact | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
that the government has started to look at increasing the pdnalties, | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
but we need better enforcemdnt of the existing laws and edtcation | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
for drivers to make sure they are fully aware of the risks | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
of using phones at the wheel. A 27% reduction in road traffic | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
police officers in the country. Many forces are under financial | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
pressure, financial stress. Effectively, I should imagine | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
there is also a sharing The figure of 27% is, | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
effectively, the number This survey suggests that most | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
people don't see this I think the report suggested | :04:58. | :05:06. | |
that is, certainly, there is an increased | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
amount of people admitting to using a hand-held mobile phone | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
at the wheel. But the reasons they are dohng | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
it is for 14%, they see othdr people do it all and think they can get | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
away with it. The laws are simply | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
not being enforced. It's really important | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
that the message gets through that this is a dangdrous | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
thing to do at the wheel. A lollipop woman and three children | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
have been hit by a car in Wdymouth. The accident happened just before | :05:37. | :05:46. | |
4pm this afternoon The patrol woman was taken | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
to hospital with serious injuries, which are not thought | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
to be life-threatening. The children, two boys | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
and a girl all aged 11, Champion jockey Jim Crowley | :05:58. | :06:00. | |

more threats and bullying. A teacher from Wyvern College | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
near Eastleigh has just won a prestigious national teaching | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
award for making maths fun. Will Emeny came up with a mdntal | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
arithmetic programme he called Numeracy Ninjas that's now | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
being used in thousands 30 questions in five minutes | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
at the start of every lesson. I needed something that would be fun | :07:07. | :07:21. | |

arithmatic, the Year 7 pupils at Wyvern College have developed | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
into quite the Ninja Warriors. We did a research study last year | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
that showed the numeracy ninjas boosted their numeracy by 70% | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
for the average student. Some students it was | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
greater than that. We launched over a year ago and it's | :08:01. | :08:17. | |
grown to 3500 schools all over the world. | :08:18. | :08:29. | |

knew I'd end up a maths teacher but I'm so glad I did. | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
That's all from the South Today news team this evening. | :08:52. | :08:53. | |

up now with Louise. Halloween 2 16 has almost come and gone but it has | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
left some spookily interesting statistics. It has been a third | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
consecutive mild Halloween. The warmest was in 2014, 20 four | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
Celsius. Today we have been breaking records in Wales, the warmest | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
Halloween, 22 Celsius. A glorious shot, fairly indicative of what we | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
had in Wales today, sent in by weather watcher earlier. A different | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
story further north and east. The cloud made it great and in the | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
Northern Isles temperatures didn't climb above nine Celsius. It is as | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
cold air set to descend south through the course of the night | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
