I have a little sympathy since when I get a cup of drive through coffee
I'd really prefer to drink it now and not 30 miles down the road.




You should not be drinking the coffee while driving. If you spill it,
even if it is a drink that is not hot like water and you have to make a
sudden stop or have to make a quick turn you will be distracted.

However in some of the traffic jams I have seen , you can drink that cup
of coffee before you go a block, even giving it time to cool down.


You're kidding, right? You really don't want to think about what
truckers get up to. I used to make sandwiches while going down the road
at 65 with the cruise control set.
Like my brother told the cop who stopped him for talking on the CB
going across Saskatchewan - "you really don't want me driving
UNDISTRACTED across this boring province, do you??"


There are worse places... Fortunately most of my Canadian runs were west
of Calgary. Going through Banff is not boring.
