| Description | Cab drivers in South Korea can continue to have televisions on their dashboards, despite the risk of crashing, a court has ruled.
The ruling comes after a taxi driver challenged a $507 (£311) fine imposed by the local authorities in the capital, Seoul.
The city's tortuous congestion led taxi drivers to install new mobile TV systems in an attempt to beat boredom.
Watching TV while driving was a factor in 200 accidents last year, police say.
Three people were killed and 351 were injured in those accidents, news agency Agence France Presse reported. |
