Do you eat while driving?

[Braznor]

I never done so. But I figure sandwiches and chips should be okay on that list and so does non alcoholic drinks like coffee or water. But any food that requires attention should be a strict no. I will never risk taking my eyes or attention off the road.

What about you all? I guess most of you have eaten stuff as you drive? Have the cops given you any trouble for doing so like this guy experienced?

I did just this morning for breakfast. Had me a 2 for $3 sausage and egg mcmuffin and a hash brown. Little things like that are easy to eat with 1 hand. My friend got in a wreck trying to eat a big ass burrito from chipotle. A bunch of salsa dripped down into her crotch area as she was trying to eat and swerved off the road and hit a pole. She was lucky she wasn't going very fast.

I assumed it was against the law, but I do it sometimes.
Especially if I need to run an errand on my lunch break and need to eat on the way back to the office.
It's definitely distracting and can cause issues, but I still do it because I am cool.

 

[Rhezuss]

I mostly eat while going to work in the mornings as I usually grab something on the road or get a quick bagel from home.

 

[KeithTalent]

No. The only time I can recall doing that is when we were on a road trip and my passenger was able to feed me snacks like chips and such.

I don't eat, but I will drink (non alcoholic beverages ofc) on occasion.

This is why I don't eat at Taco Bell. Eating a tostada while shifting is too complicated.

 

[pontifex]

I have eaten hamburgers, fries, chicken nuggets in the car while driving.

would not eat a taco, sub, or anything messy/complicated to hold/eat while driving.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Not breakfast, lunch or dinner. Only on long drives. Easy foods like jerky, peanuts, chips. Or fruit pulled from the cooler.

 

[KMFJD]

Yes, but only when driving home on a country road, never in town or with a lot of traffic

 

[Atomic Playboy]

I'll grab the occasional french fry from a bag of food, but generally no. As a driver, I'm too busy paying attention to things and not dying to concern myself with eating, and as a passenger, I'm too busy worrying that whoever is driving is actively trying to kill us both, which is something of an appetite killer.

 

[Mixolydian]

Nope never.

 

[zinfamous]

I do this on long road trips, but very rarely.

I used to have skills, too. You know you've made it when you can drive while eating a subway sandwich and rolling a joint all at once.

 

[Anubis]

every single day I eat a granola bar on the way into work and drink coffee

 

[RossMAN]

Eat - rarely unless I'm pressed for time. A few weeks ago was running late to work, traffic was terrible, all while trying to consume a breakfast burrito.

Drink - coffee or water sometimes.

 

[Ruptga]

Almost never, the exception being occasionally on long trips on the interstate. Never on other roads though, they're too unpredictable.

I hate getting buffalo sauce on my iPhone.

I hate getting iPhone sauce on my buffalo. He is super Android fanboi and it is beyond annoying.

 

[BurnItDwn]

No, I don't eat in the car, I hate crumbs in the car or sticky steering wheels. I dont like to clean, so easiest way to keep it clean is to not make a mess in the 1st place. When we go on road trips, I stop for meals when I'm hungry,

 

[lxskllr]

Steamed crabs are my favorite road food.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Drink sure. I don't like eating while driving. I feel like I can't enjoy my food.

 

[Kaido]

I eat french fries all the time while driving. And drink from my water bottle with a straw.

 

[blackdogdeek]

Only simple foods like soup or pasta.

Pho is good while driving.

Exactly. Simple foods.
