    I love to eat while driving. I think that it is a bit of a challenge, but when you gotta eat, you gotta eat

    I think it's alright for burgers and fries, but of course, it would be much better if the driver just pulled over. It doesn't take that long to finish a sandwich meal anyway. I myself do this sometimes, though, and you're right, sometimes there is just no choice. When I'm running late and extremely hungry, I can't help but buy some food from a drive thru and eat it while I drive.

    I'm against doing pretty much anything beind the wheel. I think it's completely irresponsible. Especially knowing who you're sharing the road with.. people texting, people drinking, people having a conversation on their cells or digging through their glove boxes or flipping through the channels on the radio. Eating! lol. I see more people swerving on the road than driving properly these days... so no.. I wouldn't feel safe doing anything but driving with a very close eye on the people around me.

    Although eating while driving may be a little difficult or as you say challenging it isn't always the safest options. People drive crazily now a days. Although you may be a great driver and very careful it is the other people you have to watch out for. Usually when me and my husband travel we take turns eating like literally. It may slow us down but we are assuring our children's safety. You be careful with this one and have a great day.

    I think it could be a little dangerous eating and driving just like talking on the phone or texting. You full attention should be on the road but that just me I am very cautions when it comes to driving.

    I eat while driving sometimes, which is only when I'm very hungry or have the tendency to eat something. I can handle food while I drive because I can still focus on driving while I'm grab a few pieces of snacks. Aww, good times right there!

    If I am on the road traveling, I eat in the car. Also, I eat in the car when I am in a hurry. I try not to, but sometimes I just don't have enough time to stop and eat.

    Well, if the food requires only one hand to be eaten and I'm already very hungry, then I'll go ahead and eat while I drive. But since I'm a slow eater, I would prefer to eat when I get to my destination or during traffic, not while driving.

    If I'm really hungry or in a hurry, I also eat. I make sure that I'm not in a really busy road and I only eat sandwiches not the heavy kind of food.:D

    I think that many people get too distracted by food hen driving but of you're really hungry I would suggest to pull over and to eat or to eat at red lights and move on because the slightest distraction can unfortunately cost you your life.

    For some people it works for them to multitask while driving but I still think it's definitely dangerous. I'm scared of driving I actually think I won't be able to get behind the wheel again.

    This is something I think everyone does. I know it is a bad habit of mine. When I have small children in my vehicle, I try to go inside. I do think it is more convenient to go through the drive threw and eat on the go.

    Well, I don't think everyone does it sbatz. I can't eat while I'm driving, I simply can't. I tried a couple of times with just an apple and it's crazy, so or I am eating or I am driving, I can't do both at the same time.

    Maybe some candy that you can chew a lot of times, but something that makes you have the hand on it and on the wheel, i think i prefer to just stop and eat in some safe and nice place, there is no hunger that will make me eat while driving.

    I agree, eating food while driving seems to be a challenge I that I feel is worth it. I don't know why, but I assume it is the thrill I get from eating and driving. I believe people should stop doing so, though because it is very distracting to eat and drive at the same time.

    I several of my recent professions I was needed to be on the road like always which made me to promptly master the art of driving by the knee as I eat. Some meals such as soup, sushi, and pizza are quite useful when driving since they haven’t mend my driving experience hard in anyway.

    That is interesting to know some people always eat while driving! I don't recall myself ever eating while driving except stealing some fries from the McDonald's bag right after going on the drive thru. I need all the attention I can gather while driving, so I never even considered to actually eat and drive at once!

    I love the challenge that this provides and i get really excited when i am able to accomplish this. Though i do have my reservations and do not think that this is a safe practice. And so i only do it if i have to and not just as a way to challenge myself
