LIGHTWEIGHT!!!! Back in the day in order to get a drivers license ya had to be able to open a beer(with a church key)light a cig and shift to 3rd at the same time!
This country has gone to hell!
Well, my worst offense was driving while holding multiple ice cream cones, and it was a stick shift.
How was this guy eating? I have seen people using both hands to eat a hamburger and driving with his knees. I saw a woman eating a bowl of cereal with both hands and driving with her knees. I see people reading books and newspapers. This is unacceptable.
The article is unclear what, exactly, this driver was doing.
My favorite is a lady holding a cell phone to her ear with one hand, looking in the mirror and playing with her hair with the other hand, going down the interstate at 70 mph.
Nothing was worse for driving than those little 8 oz beer cans.
Traffic tickets are about making an income for the LEOs who are constantly driving around violating the same laws they are writing tickets for.
Think about it distracted driving would include talking and fiddling about with a police radio and observing if other drivers are breaking the law. I mean if you are watching a guy eating a burger in another car for 2 miles straight then how can you be aware of the dangers of the road?
The regular Micky D burger was made for driving.
You can eat it with 1 hand.
If it were an old school Whopper insteas of McD, the cop mvht have had a case because “it takes to hands to handle a Whopper”.
Imagine the ramifications for fast-food places if this becomes a common occurence. I quit them years ago for financial reasons (with the unintended benefit of lower cholesterol); if they can’t sell food to be eaten while driving then they are done.
“To” should be “two”
I've never understood why those idiots don't have a bluetooth headset. For $20 they can keep both hands on the wheel. But then, I guess that's what makes them idiots.
A rack of ribs slathered in sauce can be tricky. Crimson goo all over the wheel, shifter, various knobs...
I'll see your lady with a guy reading the newspaper, and raise you with a woman shaving her legs while driving (nice below the waist shape too)
And you didn't leave your lane, speed or run anyone over.
I am so tired of weenies that cant drive and talk on the phone at the same time. They mucked it up for those of us that can.
Funny just watched that 2 minutes ago on FOX,they said it was staged
Only donuts allowed?
“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” ― Ayn Rand
That said, eating is as much a distraction as holding a phone and creates an equal danger, so I can't say the cops are wrong.
