Instagram and driving?....

    Hi all..
    So was just browsing on IG this evening when a certain life coach/mental wellbeing coach from the west of Ireland posted a story of them driving on a motorway to or from Dublin. It just got me thinking...does the law for using a mobile while driving not apply to those if they are using it for instagtram?!? If I was a guarda for example and I came across this, would it be enough to charge this person with using a phone while driving? Obviously I know phones are totally not allowed while driving but what makes people think its ok to do this?

    Most of these are bloody airheads anyways, least thats my experience of them.



    The charge is supporting a mobile phone so if they're holding the phone with any body part its a charge. You can report them to Traffic Watch if you like and the investigating Gard, if bothered, can determine the registration.

    Not being an IG user but is/was it a live feed or just a posted cam video?
    If it was a cam video was it obviously hand held or might it have been mounted?
    If it was handheld was it definitely the driver?
