Traffic tickets are not about enforcing the law.

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.

A rack of ribs slathered in sauce can be tricky. Crimson goo all over the wheel, shifter, various knobs...

he observed me eating a burger for 2 miles,”

And you didn't leave your lane, speed or run anyone over.

“Maybe if you had a giant pizza in both hands and you weren’t holding the wheel or maybe if you had a watermelon, half watermelon and you were just diving into it holding it with both hands, maybe that would be something,” Head said.

I’m thinking that eating a taco would be the most distracting.

(Yes, that can be read multiple ways).

I heard a caller to a NJ radio station talking about the crazy things she’d see on her commute. She said she once saw someone making a salad while they were driving.

I have seen such a distraction become a real traffic hazard.

Big woman, burger partially wrapped, putting it up to her maw and the paper would block her view and she would take her hand (singular) off the steering wheel to move the paper so she could see where she was going. Saw her slam on her brakes because the light turned red well ahead of us --she didn;t notice because she had he face buried in the burger and paper and when she looked up, the cars in front of her had stopped and she slammed on the brakes and when I came alongside her at the light I could see the burger and wrapper were smeared all over her steering wheel, dashboard and between her fingers as she clutched the wheel. No telling what happened to the drink I am sure she had in her lap or cup holder.

The burger in my hand can find its way to my mouth without me taking my eyes off the road. Unless this driver was driving badly, it sounds like someone was fishing for a reason to write a ticket.

A friend of mine got rear-ended one time, at a red light, by someone eating a salad while driving. Plate, fork, steering wheel...

Wonder if they are going to ticket people who are driving with dogs in their lap?

I wonder if you could arrest a cop for “Driving While Policing”.

I haven’t been there in years. I have family living in a subdivision off Canton Road but IIRC it runs through a residential area. It was a two lane slower traffic road not a highway.

Smoking, chewing gum, licking your lips, adjusting your seat belt, talking to your passenger...listening to the radio.

What next?
