We’ve all snagged a bite to eat at a fast food joint and eaten it in our car, but it landed one man in big trouble.
Madison Turner was given a ticket after getting caught munching on a cheeseburger while driving his car in Cobb County, Georgia, WSB-TV reported.
Turner had this to share with WSB-TV about the encounter:
“The officer explained to me that he observed me eating a burger for 2 miles,” Madison said. “He said specifically three times, you can’t just go down the road eating a hamburger.”
It turns out it’s illegal to eat and drive thanks to the state’s distracted driver law that covers anything that takes your attention away from the road. Even a burger.
Police are not saying anything about the case because Turner has not yet appeared in court.
What do you think of this law?
Oh, in unrelated but related news: McDonald's famed Triple Cheeseburger is making a comeback. Just try to not eat it while driving!
