@itvnews: A Conservative councillor, who’s also a priest, joined a meeting on video call while he drove to officiate a funeral. Father Malcom Lane appeared to shock his fellow councillors when he introduced himself while clearly driving a car. He was advised to ‘pull over if you can’. Anyone caught using a handheld phone while driving can be fined and receive points on their licence. Monmouthshire County Council said it ‘allows councillors to attend all meetings remotely for a variety of reasons’. #itvnews #monmouthshire
Why is this bad though? It's like having the radio or a podcast on in the background

Not even illegal. He isn’t touching it, it’s down by his side

I think the problem is the fact that he used his phone whilst driving rather than being on the call whilst driving

You are allowed to do this aslong as you haven’t touched your phone whilst driving. Same as a phone call/podcast etc

So what? How is this any different to having a call come through your car system?

I understand the safety concerns, however I don’t think this is any worse than a call on handsfree. I also feel the convener is a bit smug about it too. Perhaps his badge is a different colour?

You cannot have a viewable moving video screen in your eye line whilst driving. Hence why media players on car media systems stop when driving
