A “phenomenal” number of motorists are being caught watching Netflix and other online platforms while driving, a senior garda involved in roads policing has warned.

Inspector Fergal O’Donovan, who is in charge of roads policing in Co Cork, said motorists are also being detected having online meetings on their mobile phones and interacting with others on social media platforms such as Facebook and X.
