what do you think is the difference? I dont mean drinking a coffee i mean really eating
You can still look at the road when eating.
Eating dosn’t take away your cocentration the way talking/texting does. Its not because your hands are occopied its your brain, thats way a bluetooth (aldough legal) is not the solution.
Eating is fine if you are careful. Talking on a phone takes your mind off the road. Texting takes your eyes off the road aswell. What neighbourhood do you live in? I want to avoid it!Eating is fine if you are careful. Talking on a phone takes your mind off the road. Texting takes your eyes off the road aswell. What neighbourhood do you live in?

And seriously, sneezing is highly dangerous while driving. If you have a cold or suffer from the pollen you will know that an unexpected sneeze will make you close your eyes and lose concentration for a good few seconds. May Hashem protect us all.
How about drinking while driving? What if I use a straw?
42 – They never taught you don’t drink and drive? :-}
how about putting on makeup?
reading the newspaper?
shaving with an electric shaver?
holding a bowl of berries with one hand and picking them with teh other?
these are all things i have personally seen
pretty crazy …..yet the only thing ticketable is the cell phone
mewho,
I agree that the law should be against all forms of distracted driving. The reason this isn’t enforced is because it’s much easier to convict for something more concrete.
People do some crazy things behind the wheel.
But I seem to notice that all to often it’s the innocent people that get “caught.” It’s hard to prove to a judge that the officer didn’t see what he claimed to see…
seen pple reading the paper, makeup. eating isn’t as bad as texting. you can keep both hands on the wheel and munch. why don’t pple just pull over to the side for 15 min. and relax?
It could be because texting takes your focus off of driving almost completely. Eating, on the other hand, though it may cause you to look at your food every now and then, does not require the same focus and concentration as texting.
