Florida Personal Injury Lawyers Say Wait Until You Get Home To Eat
Eating while driving is one of the many distractions that may cause an auto accident, say Florida Personal Injury Lawyers.

COCONUT GROVE, FL, January 28, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- According to reports from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the majority of car accidents are not being caused by speeding, driving under the influence or even reckless driving report the Florida Personal Injury Lawyers at Grossman Roth, PA. The auto accidents are being caused by eating behind the wheel. Not only are 80% of car accidents caused by eating while driving, but 60% of near misses are also caused by drivers distracted by eating behind the wheel.

When multi-tasking while driving and engaging in a secondary acidity such as eating, drivers seem to be focusing more on their additional activity that what they are doing on the road say the Florida Personal Injury Lawyers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted a study that showed distractions, like eating, can become a problem for drivers who can't react quickly to a sharp curve, oncoming car, or object that has darted in front of the vehicle.

A list of foods that are the most difficult to eat behind the wheel has been released by the NHTSA. This list says Florida Personal Injury Lawyers, includes coffee, soup, tacos, chili dogs, hamburgers, ribs, wings, fried chicken, jelly doughnuts, soda and even chocolate. Surprising to most, coffee was ranked the most dangerous beverage to drink while driving due to the boiling liquid that can easily spill while going over a bump thus causing additional distractions.

The numbers of the NHTSA study are shocking. The study reports that 70% of drivers eat while they are driving and an amazing 83% of drivers drink a beverage behind the wheel says the Florida Personal Injury Lawyers at Grossman Roth.
