Meanwhile, officers have praised drivers for pulling over to use their phones, but have urged a common sense approach to where they park.

In a message on Facebook, Cookstown PSNI said: "Yes it's great to see so many people pulling over in their cars to use a mobile phone and parking up.But please park properly. Not on a busy road so that you are blocking the traffic behind you.Or on a corner which is really not a good idea.

"Pull in somewhere that still allows the traffic to flow in both directions and doesn't cause an obstruction! A little common sense goes a long way.

"Don't be driving using the phone.Its very dangerous and against the law.You don't want 3 penalty points and a £60 fine.12 points and your disqualified. It's not worth it! Excuses about having to really answer the phone doesn't work with us."
