Which has caused enough distraction to miss whole mile of warning signs, then millions of small red lights and possibly flashing hazards (which is more and more common now).

I can see TV even more distracting.

I'm not saying that this was a case this time, but I've seen on BBC's Traffic Cops situation where lorry drives was pulled-over for watching a movie on the laptop!

It's just a no-no full stop. Everyone should concentrate on driving not watching TV or SatNav or phones or anything. Put some good music on (preferably in a multi-changer!), cruise on and relax (but not too much you'll fall asleep!)
