In Cobb County, a man received a ticket for eating a burger while driving. The police officer cited him with distracted driving even though he wasn’t speeding or driving erratically.

Madison Turner was driving home last weekend when he made a critical stop. He ordered a double quarter pounder with cheese at a McDonald’s and started eating it. Not long after, a Cobb County police officer pulled him over.

“His exact words were — you can’t just be driving down the road, eating a hamburger,” Turner says.

Georgia law says drivers should “not engage in any actions which shall distract” them from safely operating their vehicle.

But local attorney Desmond Humphrey thinks Turner was in the clear especially since he didn’t speed or show signs of distracted driving.

“I drink coffee, I eat biscuits — I’m not distracted in the least bit, and I’ve even seen police officers you know on their walkie-talkies, eating their breakfast in the mornings as well,” Humphrey says.

Turner admits he has eaten burgers while driving since then, but he plans to fight his ticket on Feb. 3. If he fails to appear in court, his driver’s license will be suspended.

A Cobb County Police Department spokesman declined comment.
