Don't video snow while driving - Kildare Co Council warning

Motorists are being urged to concentrate on the road ahead while driving instead of recording videos of snow falling on the road as they drive.

Videos are emerging on social media of what appears to be from people recording while they drive.

Kildare County Council's Road Safety Officer Declan Keogh is urging drivers not to record videos while driving.

"We all know how treacherous driving conditions can be as a result of snow.

"Drivers should concentrate on the road ahead and managing their vehicle safely instead of recording videos as they drive.

"Doing the latter is illegal and it takes away the drivers ability to control and manage the vehicle safely.

"It may also result in a collision which could end up far worse than the driver expected."
