Yeah, good luck. That was my first reaction. But if a bill makes it's way through the New Jersey legislature, one could be fined for drinking or eating while driving.

In an effort to crack down on distracted driving, soon fines could be imposed for "drivers who eat, drink, groom, read or use electronic devices behind the wheel."

We're not talking about just a slap on the wrist either. The first offence could cost you $200-$400, a $400-$600 fine for the second offense. A third offense, could mean a fine of $600 – $800, or up to a 90-day license suspension as well as motor vehicle points. What!

I'm all about fining people for talking on their phones or using tablets while driving, but this is ridiculous!
