There’s a war on distracted driving. Check that, there’s been a suggested war on distracted driving by Secretary of Transportation Roy LaHood. It’s because of infotainment systems in cars, cell phones, books, eating and any other distractions that could lead to accidents.
Some places, like Oak Park, IL would rather have their drivers go hungry than be allowed eat while driving. Is this going too far? It depends. Some drivers can put down a bowl of chili while driving 75MPH on the expressway. Some drivers can’t even adjust the volume on their radio going 25MPH.
All this talk of distracted driving and Oak Park’s ruling on distracted driving prompted us to really find out what are the best foods to eat while driving. We tapped our fans on Facebook for suggestions and some made more sense than others (clearly). Keep reading to see the top picks:
