'The dark side of human nature': Call to update laws after graphic images of fatal M50 crash shared online

In June 2018, the driver of an articulated truck in Cork was convicted of careless driving when it was determined that he had used both hands to take photos of an accident on the South Ring Road. He was fined €600 and given five penalty points.

Ireland needs to update its laws to catch up with technology, according to the AA's Conor Faughnan.

He was responding to the phenomenon of people taking pictures of accidents and sharing them on social media, describing it as 'the dark side of human nature'.
