South Korean taxi drivers...allowed to watch TV while driving?

Apparently, South Korean drivers are allowed to watch TV in their cabs while driving. The traffic in Seoul is so torturous, that cabbies have installed TVs in their cabs to beat the boredom. TV use was implicated in over 200 accidents last year. Three people were killed and 351 injured in said accidents. Despite this, a STUPID judge overturned a $507 fine. Why on earth should a cabbie be allowed to put OTHER PEOPLES' LIVES on the line because he's bored from traffic? If any cabbie is so impulsive and impatient, even in the worst traffic known to man, then he deserves to be unemployed. I wish for all people to have a good-paying job, but I would rather have an unemployed person than a dead person.
