Gardai in Ireland caught a driver using their elbows to steer while eating a salad with both hands. This incident occurred during a St. Patrick's Day weekend operation aimed at improving road safety. Since September 2024, Gardai have been using unmarked heavy goods vehicles to monitor drivers for phone use and seatbelt violations. The elevated position of these vehicles allows officers to better observe unsafe driving behaviors. The operation, named Iompar, has been successful in identifying distracted drivers. Gardai aim to reduce accidents linked to phone use, which significantly increases the likelihood of collisions.
