So do you disagree with the decision of the police to quash the "inappropriate" fine they gave to someone for eating a Kit Kat while driving on the motorway?
I think far too many people forget they are driving something that could cause a fatal accident and don't act accordingly, but eating/drinking while you are driving is not illegal, its not being in control of your car and not driving with proper care and attention that is the issue.
Edited to add: I'm with theducks, while I don't eat or drink very often in the car, if a am doing so while driving, if needed I'd just drop it. I expect most people would?
