Dangers of Eating While Driving

Like stopping off at the dry cleaners, post office, or bank, the majority of Americans will make a daily stop at the local coffee shop or drive-thru for a quick beverage or fast meal whenever they find the time. While the car used to be considered only a means of transportation, it has quickly become a personal work space, comfort zone, and a kitchen for many consumers. In fact, the number of cup holders inside a car can often be the tipping point for many car buyers even if it means a few extra dollars on the price tag.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that eating while driving is even more dangerous than driving while using a handheld cell phone. Some of the most dangerous foods to consume while operating a motor vehicle include chocolate, jelly-filled donuts, fried chicken, barbeque, tacos, soups, and open-container drinks. All of these can potentially distract the driver and cause a serious accident. Read more
