> A suv slammed into a Town of Evans restaurant late Thursday night, causing substantial damage and cutting the gas line. The driver lost control of his vehicle when he choked on a cup of coffee he was drinking, Evans police said.
> The crash occurred shortly before 9:55 p.m., when the driver attempted to get off Erie Road while choking on the coffee. But he lost control of the eastbound truck, which slammed into Cala’s Kitchen, at 6888 Erie Road, Evans Police Chief Ernest Masullo said.
> National Fuel was called to repair the gas line. The driver refused medical treatment, and no charges have been filed.

doing anything that distracts your attention from the road should probably be a law if it isn’t already

Fucking slippery slope! One minute its “no phone while driving”, next minute it’s “no wild seg orgies with midgets dressed as nuns while eating a chili dog and reading the kama sutra”.
Fucking lame big brother shit.

A few months ago it was on the news that Tonawanda was supposedly cracking down on “driving while distracted” which included eating and drinking while driving. I couldn’t find anything on the DMV’s website about it being a law, and I didn’t hear of anyone getting ticketed.

yeah, looking around online it doesn’t seem to be an actual law… but can probably be covered under a general “failure to [x]” ticket
