Gardai warn: Don't post photos or videos of yourself driving

Ahead of the bank holiday weekend, Gardai have warned motorists to desist from using their mobile phone while driving.

A Garda spokesperson said: "We ask that you stop putting up social media stories of yourself driving.

"Driving requires all of your attention.

"When you get into your car you become a driver... not a vlogger."

Driving while using a mobile phone incurs 2 penalty points and a fixed-charge of €60.

In the event of non payment of this fine, four penalty points and a possible €2,000 fine will be enforced if convicted in court.
