i wonder why it is that it's illegal to talk on a hand held mobile phone or send sms while driving, but it's perfectly legal (as far as i know and maybe i'm horribly wrong) to eat a hamburger or drink a soft drink while you drive. granted it might not take as much concentration or be as distracting. but eating a mcflurry juggling spoon and cup thingy is no easy task. so i hear.
Category: The World We Live InI think you'll find in fact it is illegal! Just like its illegal to drive in thongs or moccasins!
The one that gets me though is people reading the newspaper whilst driving!

Posted by: jenny at June 15, 2005 05:34 PMwhere does it say it's illegal to drive in thongs?? i always thought that was an old wives tale.
there is a one-handed technique for most burgers - doens't work for mcfeasts very well, which is a shame, being far and away the best maccas burger :(
Posted by: steve at June 15, 2005 09:28 PMi'm pretty sure there is a law about doing something while driving that requires any of your hands and/or feet
Posted by: libby at June 15, 2005 10:57 PMIts not illegal to wear your underpants on the outside. but its still wrong
Posted by: Ian at June 16, 2005 04:48 PMmaybe the thong law (and for all you americans outhere I mean shoes!) is just Victorian - but I know someone who got a fine for driving in them - and they checked with a friend who's a cop and he said yup its legit!
Posted by: Fi at June 16, 2005 06:32 PMand the drive through Maccas is supposed to be so you don't have to go in to the store to get your takeaway to go home and eat - not so you can eat in the car!
