Moment priest driving car joins video meeting

This is the moment a priest joined a council meeting while driving to a funeral he was conducting.

Malcolm Lane, who is also a councillor in Monmouthshire, spoke to introduce himself to the meeting, before it was noted he was driving his car.

He was then urged to pull over and turn off the camera on his phone.

Lane said later that he accidentally failed to turn the screen off, only intended to listen in, and insisted that he never took his eyes off the road.
