    Another idea is one of those tube fed "camelback" packs that some cyclists use. Once the tube is in your mouth it's effectively "hands free" while you actually drink :D

    Get caught drinking from anything that needs you to hold it whilst driving and get ready for an 80 quidder and 3 points - simples

    You can't be too careful while driving. Better stop for a bottle of water.

    I certainly don't agree with drinking and driving.

    Indeed.

    it is comparatively harmless at traffic lights etc. but technically the police can still do you for it.

    i once got pulled over for shaving whilst driving. (it was electric before anyone asks)

    driving whilst not in control was mentioned.
    You got to get through what you've got to go through to get what you want but you got to know what you want to get through what you got to go through.

    Did you get fined? If not, it must have been a close shave.....

    I normally eat my lunch while driving otherwise I don't get time. I often have to hide my sandwich.
    Nothing to see here, move along.
