News you REALLY need to know...

According to a study done by Hagerty Classic Insurance of Traverse City, MI (they insure collector & classic automobiles)....the following are the 10 Most Dangerous Foods To Eat While Driving...

1. Coffee...2. Hot soup...3. Tacos...4. Chili...5. Juicy hamburgers...6. Barbecued food...7. Fried chicken...8. Jelly & cream-filled doughnuts...9. Soft drinks...10. Chocolate

The study was prompted by a claim filed last year from a Hagerty customer, who'd been in so many food-related wrecks that his license included a restriction against driving with food within his reach!

i woulda thought that, like, spaghetti or lo mein would've come before chocolate. and what about burritos? or do they just mean dangerous to the people *outside* the vehicle?

I just don't think I could do hot soup in a car while driving - ouch if it spilled!!

I really don't like eating in my car... lol so I don't do drive-throughs either... Too messy!!! LOL

All the best, Zara.

I TOTALLY agree about drive-through windows, Geri! I'd rather park the car and go in rather than wait in a long line of creeping cars, filling the air w/fumes...

I have never heard of such a restriction! LOL

I used to drive 1200 miles to Florida a few times a year and never got out of the car to eat. Too dangerous... So I would zip through those drive thrus and eat while I drove. I didn't have a problem at all. I can say I ate everything on your list except the hot soup. Not a soup eater usless it's mine. *G*

Eating is a fairly dangerous sport while driving, but there are many other things I've seen that are far worse. I won't go into details!

I'm thinking the writer should've specified HOT chocolate, zal...

Ha, put me down for 9 of the top 10... They could be right though, I was put on driving probation when i was 19....

Hey what's the safest food to eat while petting your boyfriend and blabbing on the cell phone over the exit ramp? (: Enquiring minds want to know!

NOT THAT'S JUST SAD....

yikes yep.. I can see where some of these could be a problem.. the chicken one especially. Those wheels are hard to turn when you got greasy fingers. lol

damn, no chinese food? i think that's trickiest of all!

Funny - and that is useful information. I usually stick to gummi bears while I'm driving. No long trip is undertaken without a couple pounds of the little critters in the console . . .
