Man cited for eating while driving in Cobb County www.wsbtv.com
jan 18 2015
An Alabama man says he was cited by Cobb County police for “eating while driving” under the distracted driving law under the distracted driving law.
Madison Turner said he ordered a double quarter pounder with cheese from McDonald’s last week, and a police officer pulled him over, along Canton Road in Marietta.
“The officer explained to me that he observed me eating a burger for 2 miles,” Madison said. “He said specifically three times, you can’t just go down the road eating a hamburger.”
According to the ticket, the officer wrote him up under Georgia’s distracted driving law, and under the comments sections wrote “eating while driving.”
That law reads, in part: “A driver shall exercise due care in operating a motor vehicle on the highways of this state and shall not engage in any actions which shall distract such driver from the safe operation of such vehicle.”
Don't be a fuckwit, Speedos. People are capable of eating and drinking behind the wheel so long as they do it safely.

Safely? Nobody drives safely, you nitwit. We have 35,000 americans killed every year on the highways.!!!
People are crazy. They think they have a "right" to drive a 2 ton vehicle at 60 mph on a public highway while eating or playing with a cell phone or whatever. This psychopath has no concern for the safety of others and should have his license suspended but he'll prolly just pay a $25 fine.

And the ticket will be thrown out in court.People are crazy.

Nobody drives safely? Dude, you are talking out of your anus.....Shut the fuck up....Better still, go chase cars on the interstate and get killed. You whiny little rabbit turd.Don't be a fuckwit, Speedos. People are capable of eating and drinking behind the wheel so long as they do it safely.

You are allowed to eat while driving, but if your attention is more on your food than the road, then there is a case for a fine, as in this case.

LYING POSThe libertarian mantra - I have the right to do anything i want until i actually injure or kill someone.
It is a distraction.

That is a matter of one's perception. Was he swerving down the road? Was he weaving in and out of his lane? The article doesn't say. If the answer is no then I don't see much of a case here. The law doesn't say anything about eating and the police office can't place himself in someone else's state of mind. Sounds like someone is trying to satisfy a ticket writing quota.

Listening to radio, talking on the phone, taking a fart, scratching your balls, chewing gum, pissing in a bottle, etc.

I have always believed talking to someone in the passenger's seat is a lot worse than people think it is.
