Shouldn’t be drinking anything in your car in the first place. I can see drinking water if you are in a low traffic zone, like cruising on the Interstates. But piloting a car in traffic, especially during rush hour traffic, while trying to juggle hot coffee and an egg mcmuffin, smoking a cigarette and putting on makeup is simply asking for trouble.
No, I have no sympathy for it, even if MacDonalds is making the coffee too hot. If people want to get all sympathetic about the irresponsible idiots they can go over to dailykos or moveon and join the anti-Macdonalds lovefest.
I remember taking a sip from a coffee, then being in shock that the car in front of me stopped. I slammed into it at about 20 mph.
