Can a motorist receive an inattentive driving ticket for eating while driving?

Yes
No
Only if they cause an accident
Only if they are speeding

The correct answer is: Yes

A motorist can indeed receive an inattentive driving ticket for eating while driving because this behavior distracts the driver from maintaining full attention on the road. Inattentive driving encompasses any activity that takes a driver's focus away from their primary responsibility of safely operating the vehicle. Eating can divert attention, reducing the driver’s ability to respond quickly to sudden changes in traffic conditions, pedestrians, or other hazards. Therefore, engaging in such activities can lead law enforcement to determine that the driver is not operating the vehicle with the necessary level of caution and attention required by law, resulting in a citation for inattentive driving.
