    Hmmmm I don’t think there is, not in my state at least. It’s the drivers responsibility to decide what is reasonable when driving, if you lose control of your vehicle or break some other traffic law, doing something like drinking (non-alcoholic) tea or coffee could contribute to your charges but isn’t illegal by itself.

    Idk if the sun is considered authoritative, but they come to a similar conclusion for the UK https://www.the-sun.com/motors/4486811/is-it-illegal-to-eat-and-drink-while-driving/

      This is about UK - it most certainly is illegal to drink or eat things whilst driving. It’d be classed as not having full control of the vehicle.

        … so what is that sun article talking about? I could be wrong. I agree that it’s not always a good idea to eat or drink while driving.
