Man cited in Georgia for eating cheeseburger while driving

MARIETTA, Ga. – A man says he was cited by police outside Atlanta for eating a cheeseburger while driving.

Madison Turner, who's from Alabama, tells Atlanta station WSB-TV he ordered a double quarter-pounder with cheese from a McDonald's in the Marietta area shortly before he was pulled over last week.

Turner says the officer told him he saw him eating the cheeseburger for two miles, telling the man "You can't just go down the road eating a hamburger."

The ticket, issued under Georgia's distracted driving law, states in the comments section that the offense is "eating while driving."

Turner is to appear in court Feb. 3.

"For most of us, I think we can safely eat a burger and drive our car at the same time," Turner told MyFoxAtlanta.com.

    Emergency services personnel are exempt. Don't like it? Change the law.

    Had an employee last year that was stopped in DE for eating @ A STOPLIGHT after the officer kept eyeballing him while driving earlier. He wasn't eating until he got to the stoplight, BTW. He also wanted to search the car! For what, another cheeseburger?! We both think it was a case of driving while black, as no one else that either of us knows has ever been stopped for any such nonsense. Are they going to start staking out drive-throughs instead of bars now?

    I have seen police riding around when it is raining with wipers on and no headlights on. Isn't there a law about rain, wipers, headlights.

    I was ticketed for talking on my cell phone while stopped for a train, in Delaware.

    I figured I had a moment because I was not moving. Guess not.

    For real.

    I bet certain people won't get pulled over for eating chicken and driving. I see it happening all the time.

    Take it to court. If you're stopped, you're not driving.

    I believe in-attentive driving might be the charge.

    I think the cheese part is what motivated the cop, way too many calories.
