Dangerous Foods To Eat While Driving

The real thing everyone should be saying is you should not be eating anything while driving at all! When you are in control of a motor vehicle you want to give your full undivided attention to the road and everything that is on that road including you. I have seen people eat, text, talk on the phone, apply make up and so much more while they are driving a car. We are not talking about a small bike or skateboard here where if you fall you may get a some scraped skin but we are talking about a big and heavy motor vehicle where those small scratches can turn in to a lost limb.

I know most of us are going to eat while driving anyhow. I am not innocent in this either. Most of us are running late for work or whatever else we all grab something from home or go to a fast food restaurant and eat on our journeys. Most of us again including myself are not thinking about the dangers of munching out while driving. We are going on a one track mind oh my I am going to be very later for work, a meeting, an appointment or taking kids to school. We tend to forget that there are dangerous foods you should not eat while driving. Not only for ourselves but the others that are around us as well. Here is something to think about. Is that coffee and doughnut really worth eating while you are driving? There is a chance this will cost you or others their lives. Below is a list of things that you should not even consider eating or drinking while you are driving. Some of the things on this list I know we all do but have to try hard not to anymore.

List Of Foods You Should Not Eat While Driving

• Coffee. This is usually very hot. You can burn yourself or spill it which will cause you to swerve or take your eyes off the road.
• Soup. Again it is hot and can spill, causing you to jump and weave. But more importantly why would people eat soup and drive anyhow. Not a very bright idea.
• Tacos.This should be a given but many people still eat them while driving.They can turn into a big mess, and get all over you. Then you are paying more attention to getting the droppings from it off of you than to the road.
• Burgers. They are loaded with grease. Slick hand on a steering wheel, think about it! not safe
• Any foods that are barbecued. This should be a known already. Very messy and well you already know that messes and driving do not mix.
• Fried foods, mostly chicken. As I said before greasy hands and a steering wheel? The odds are not in your favor here.
• Anything that has a filling or a jelly in it.. Try biting that and not having a mess all over the place. Then your focus is off of the road and on the mess.
• Soft drinks. They can spill and make you get real sticky or the fizz can choke you up which causes you to cough and lose focus on the road.
• Chocolate. Messy, melted chocolate all over he wheel and your hands, not a good idea.
• Chili. Who on earth eats chili while driving anyhow? It is hot and can burn you, along with making a mess all down your clothing. This will make you weave trying to clean up the mess.

I hope this article has changed your mind at least a little bit on the thought of a grab and go car meal. There are so many peoples life that could potentially be at risk here. Again think about it. Is it worth eating food while driving and ending up in prison for killing another driver or someones child? Personally I value my freedom and from now on out will wait till i am out of my vehicle to sip my coffee and eat my doughnuts!
