A woman was caught tucking into a bowl of cereal on her morning drive to work – but the cereal offender didn’t seem too worried when a cyclist filmed her moveable feast on his helmet camera.

When I used to drive my van for work ( which I was able to look down into other cars beside me ) I'd see people eating their breakfast on an almost daily occurrence, not all but plenty of women also thought it was fine to apply their makeup while driving a well :crazy1:

Doesn't everyone eat in the car???  :whistler:

Macca's bacon & egg McMuffins were made to eat while driving, I'm sure....

True.  And their coffee is fine too.  It's all good fun until the li comes off in your hand above your lap.

At least you don't have to worry about burning the family jewels with their lukewarm coffee...  :lol:

I'm sure here in uk a driver was 8 fined for eating a sandwich or an apple whilst driving.

I may have posted the story in here!

Technically you are not supposed to eat or drink anything while actually driving but cup holders send a mixed message. Much easier to sip on a drink or nibble on a muffin in an Auto car!  :goodjob:

I wouldn't eat cereals though! Too much sugar and salt!  :lol:

Pretty sure eating and drinking while driving isn't actually illegal but you can be fined for "failing to have proper control of a motor vehicle" if you don't have at least one hand on the steering wheel...

I believe consuming alcohol while driving is illegal in most States of Australia though...  :undecided:

Plenty hot enough up here most times.
BTW. I'm reminded of  a trip I did to Canberra once not long after I took over as NSW State Manager of TTA. Nice optioned Subaru Liberty as a company car. As it was just a day trip I took my wife along. At lunch time we stopped at a takeawy in Fyshwick. My wife opened her can of soft drink which hadn't been shaken I might add and it exploded all over the inside of the car. Fortunately, leather upholstery is easier to clean than fabric.

Here is another slant on the subject - I do hope it doesn't sponsor a flaming war on the forum because it is about bikes... :happydance:
