A little off topic but...

I was amazed to learn that the UK has passed a law making it illegal to eat or smoke while driving a car. It's long been illegal to drive and talk on the phone (if holding the handset at the same time), but people still do it, much like they do in the US. I'm not a smoker but I wouldn't have thought smoking a cigarette would distract a driver as much as talking or texting, or even eating. I wonder if the same will happen in the US. Drive-thru restaurants might see a drop in business!
