According to a study in 2009, eating or drinking coffee while driving causes more than 80% of all car accidents. I am sure the people that eat while driving will come up with more than 10 reasons why they are the exception, and how driving while eating does not affect them at all. Also, there are going to be the ones that think they have no other option. However, if you are honest to yourself 80% is a high chance an accident will happen, and you should reconsider your habits because you are endangering yourself and others.

In the same fashion, eating in a car is not as practical as it may be seen. First, often, fast food ordering will take more time on the drive through. Second, more time sitting on the car causes back pain to many people. Third, to maintain the interior of your car, you will have to clean it more often. Therefore, while it may seem like eating or having your passengers eat on the car is practical and saving you time, is more likely to be making you waste your time and giving you other health problems.
