Ten Foods Insurance Companies Don't Want You to Eat While Driving

After learning of an insurance applicant who had a restraining order barring him from having food within reach while driving, Insurance companies decided to draw up a list of dangerous driving foods. This particular individual had been involved in several accidents while attempting to eat and drive, leading the company to draw up a list of the most dangerous things to eat in the car.
Keep in mind there is no scientific basis for this list; rather, it’s a compilation of food items that actuaries deem the most dangerous to eat while behind the wheel.

The list essentially breaks foods down into two categories.

First, there are foods that make the hands greasy, which makes the steering wheel greasy and keeps you reaching for napkins.

Second, there are foods that are hot and can spill, causing severe driving distraction.
1. Coffee
2. Hot soup
3. Snacks
4. Sweets
5. Hamburgers
6. Barbecued food
7. Fried chicken
8. Jelly or cream-filled doughnuts
9. Soft drinks
10. Chocolate

It’s not reassuring to see coffee and soft drinks on the list, since probably every other driver on the road makes his or her commute with coffee nearby. Insurance companies also cites the possibility of getting “fizz up your nose” while drinking soda .
Mostly this list is upsetting because who doesn’t like to kick back on a summer road trip with a jelly doughnut and a bowl of chips or snackers?
