Did you know that you could receive a £1000 fine and points on your licence if you fail to stop for a School Crossing Patrol? This is the message that is being advertised on Facebook to remind drivers in Hertfordshire that they are legally bound to stop when requested to by a School Crossing patrol. The message will also appear on motoring related websites such as Auto Trader.

As part of the digital campaign, drivers are being made aware that the law was changed in 2001 to allow School Crossing Patrols to cross adults as well as children and that the Police and School Crossing Patrols are the only two services that have the authority to stop traffic.
