Okay I was driving at the time, when my son, passed me an ice cream that he didn't want, rather than throw it out I started to eat it
No sooner had I taken a few licks and a Police car was behind me pulling me over. He went through the normal episode of checking the car over etc and then warned me for driving whilst eating my ice cream. He left it at the warning stage and urged me to take more care whilst driving etc.
Wow, a sensible Police Officer; warned you you were doing something wrong but didn't push for a ticket. Not many of those left these days.
Yes he was right to stop you, yes you were wrong for eating whilst driving. And yes we all do it at some point or another, doesn't make it right - but we are all rebellious when behind the wheel (or handlebars), we all push back against the system because we don't see the harm in it, and for 99.9% of the time as long as it's done sensibly there isn't any harm in it. It's just the other 0.1% of the time that has to be accounted for (all percentage statistics supplied courtesy of my own random Internet statistical bullshit generator © 2008).
