The Dangers of Eating While Driving

We all do it. Whether it’s on our way to work or home from a long day at the office, we all eat in our cars. From bagels to tacos, we’ll eat what we’re in the mood for. But are some foods more dangerous to eat while drive?

Here’s a list of the top foods which Land Rover Denver finds to be the most danger to eat while driving. The messier, the more dangerous.

Chinese Food:

This cuisine speaks for itself. The combination of holding the white and red to go box between your legs, using chopsticks to shovel food into your mouth and the needed eye contact to make sure food doesn’t land on your clothing, is the perfect recipe for disaster.

Meatball Sub:

The fact that you have to hold a sub with two hands brings this lunchtime meal to our list.  We feel meatball subs are more so dangerous than other subs due to its temperature and the possibility of a hot, sauce-covered meatball falling out and staining your clothing. It doesn’t stop there! From your clothing, it leaves sauce stripes on your car’s carpet as it rolls around your floor.

Pizza:

With so many toppings and styles to choice from, who doesn’t enjoy a fresh, hot slice of pizza? This is one food you need to be carful with even when siting at the dinner table! You can burn the corner of your lips, the top of your mouth, pull the cheese off and burn your chin or simply burn yourself with the hot oil from the cheese. This is definitely a non-car friendly food.

Cereal:

Cereal is one of those foods you can eat anytime of the day – minus in the car. Eating cereal can be messy when you’re not seating at a table and the mess can grow if you add milk to your brand of choice. Worrying about Lucky Charms or Coco-Puffs decorating your car’s interior, or the thought of what spilt milk in a hot car would smell like, lands this food on our list.

Tacos:

Who doesn’t enjoy a tasty corn tortilla filled with your favorite meat and veggies? Although this is a food that most can eat with one hand, it’s a messy food which will makes you tilt your head to get the perfect bite. This change of perspective may lead to your car becoming infused with the one in front of you.

Burgers:

“Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce” hold off on eating that burger until you’re home! You can never have too many napkins when eating a burger. Which many toppings available to make the perfect burger, the more you add, the more likely you are to feed your clothing lunch.
