The villagers in Sillre in the northern part of Sundsvall municipality have had enough, the trucks drive fast on the 50-stretch through the village and many drivers sit and look at their mobile phones while they drive.
The phone in front of the steering wheel
- The feet on the dashboard and the phone in front of the steering wheel, states Carin Norberg who lives by road 86.
Neighbor Erik Breitcreutz, who drives a truck himself, agrees.
- It is common to see that they are sitting and looking at the mobile phone, he says.
The villagers in Sillre are right
When SVT's reporter shows up for a passport, it does not take long before the first mobile surfing driver passes by.
And then more people come with the focus on the phone in their hands in front of the steering wheel.
The villagers in Sillre are right, the mobile surfing behind the wheel of the heavy vehicles is not unusual.
Hear the villagers and see the pictures of the mobile surfing drivers in the clip.
