Operation IOMPAR in Ireland deploys unmarked HGVs to target distracted driving, detecting over 15,000 phone users this year.

An Garda Síochána in Ireland has launched 'Operation IOMPAR,' deploying unmarked Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) to target distracted driving on motorways and dual-carriageways. The elevated position of these vehicles allows officers to easily observe offenses like phone use and seatbelt violations. Since the operation began, over 15,000 drivers have been detected using phones while driving this year, marking a notable increase in enforcement efforts aimed at improving road safety.
