Distracted Eating? 20% Of All Meals Are Consumed While Driving - Why Hasn't The NHTSA Moved To Ban The Drive Through?

In the days before food labeling, the favored road snack of Patrick Bedard — longtime car tester and 42-year veteran of Car and Driver — was a package of Oreos. The texture, ease of consumption and lack of crumbs convinced Bedard it was the perfect food for driving.
