So not only can the taxi driver watch TV while driving, but now the passengers can as well:

Taxis equipped with video screens showing local news features and advertisements made their debut ithis week — after the screens were adjusted to allow passengers to turn them off.

Five hundred taxis, each with a liquid crystal display screen in the back of the headrest on the front passenger seat, have begun service in Seoul and the surrounding area, company officials said.

The screens automatically turn on when a customer gets into the back seat and initially could not be turned off, although the sound volume could be reduced or muted.

So with the passengers watching TV now as well who will tell the driver to watch out for that red light while he is busy watching his TV?
