Kfm has seen one device that connects instantly to a car screen, allowing drivers to stream videos while driving.
There is no specific law for "distracted driving".
That's according to Gardai after Kfm highlighted how a number of major retailers are selling devices that allow drivers to stream YouTube, Tiktok and Netflix from their in-built car screens.
Kfm has seen one device that connects instantly to a car screen, allowing drivers to stream videos while driving.
One product being sold online tells drivers that they can turn there car into a "romantic theatre on wheels".
The issue has previously been raised by Assistant Commissioner Paula Hilman.
"There is no offence of distracted driving so it is something we have raised and certainly at our partnership meetings we have raised that because the offence is actually holding the mobile phone," she said.
Transport Consultant Conor Faughnan said it is "not an immediate penalty point offence because you’re not holding it in your hand."
He said drivers, however, could be prosecuted for driving without due care and attention or even for dangerous driving.
