Charity Safety Concerns

Safety Charity Brake is worried someone could get hurt playing the game.

Mike Bristow, from the group, says it's ridiculous people aren't closing the app while driving:

'We are hearing one or two stories are people being involved in crashes, near misses, as a result of playing Pokemon Go.

'The bottom line is, you don't need to be doing that while driving.'
