Eating while driving 'more dangerous than using phone' - Telegraph

I can believe it -- drop a box of fries, reach down to grab it ... crash ... tinkle. Maybe if the US banned it, we'd have safer roads and less obesity. I'd call that a win.

(I've never liked the idea, since I'm more of a road side diner guy than a Mickey Dee's guy.)

Stuffing your face with salty greasy drippy goo while doing other things that should be occupying your complete attention is an American Tradition. It has been forever, or at least for like 20 years. How dare you make such a suggestion? What are you, some kinda commie-pinko-nannystate TOOL??

I don't eat or text while I drive 'cause I got nowhere to put my beer.

I could have sworn that TX had drive-through beer places, and actually allowed open containers in the 90s. You could drink and drive as long as you weren't over the limit for drunkenness.

Since I don't drink I don't know the current open container laws. The open container was a big controversy in the eighties, but I think it has been resolved since then. There are drive through beer stores, but that does not mean that you can drink it in the car.

In the sixties, there were drive in hamburger joints that would sell beer and put it on the tray hanging on your window glass. Talk about insanity.

Not drive-through but is looks inviting:

Eating a hamburger isn't too bad, but soup is a b*tch...

I like diners, too!

Ate many meals in diners when travelling in the Northeastern states of; PA, NJ, NY, MD, and DE.

I prefer vodka tonics in red solo cups for stealth when motoring.

I mix my grey goose into my can of red-bull. Fits into the cup holder, doesn't spill, and looks completely stealth.

That made me think of the guy, many years ago, who I saw driving a 1967 Pontiac Bonneville down Geary Boulevard in San Francisco while eating a plate of spaghetti.

I wonder what became of that Pontiac.
