Drivers can still have a snack while driving. However, the general distracted driving provision is discretionary to allow flexibility for law enforcement.

If you pissed off a cop for this he might just give you a ticket anyway.

pretty sure eating and any other activity still falls under the distracted driving rules

What activities are allowed?
- drinking beverages, such as coffee, water or pop
- eating a snack

[16hypen3sp]

just scratching your ear is enough to get you pulled over apparently.

I understand how a police officer can make the maistake but, I mean..... C'mon.

Honestly didn't know that either. I figured everything including scratching your balls was considered distracted driving. Good to know I can at least drink my coffee without getting grief. Though I have my sweet travel mug from MEC and a flip up straw type of thing for my water bottle, honestly makes life easier than unscrewing anything or risk spilling.

A new sweet colour! Nice I'll grab that :rofl:

Eating Subway or a burger of any sorts has got to be much more distracting than holding a phone to your head, at least for me it would be.

Yupp, like trolling a police officer is a good idea?

Trolling in this fashion might warrant you a stunting ticket in place of a distracted driving ticket and that's a little more costly in terms of demerits.

One must ask one's self is it wise to garner more police attention than is normally needed?

Stunting is a statute that can be used in quite a wide variety of situations and in fact, you can be charged with stunting even if you're no where near your vehicle. Hold up a sign to inform motorists of a speed trap up ahead - that can net you a stunting ticket.

From Alberta's TSA...

(2) A person shall not do any of the following:

(e) perform or engage in any stunt or other activity that is likely to distract, startle or interfere with users of the highway;

So pretending to eat a cookie that looks like a phone - I could certainly see an annoyed police officer give someone a stunting ticket for distracting other drivers. That's if the officer didn't find something else to give you a ticket for already.

[btimbit]

Anyone that does this deserves a ticket. And needs a better hobby. Just asking for trouble

[gretz]

Ya, its a dick move / asking for it lol... but still mildly amusing

[Tik-Tok]

If a cop can't laugh at a prank like that, he needs to take some time to re-evaluate his life, and maybe find a career that doesn't involve being armed.

I suppose it's not a big deal but taking that police officer out of the system for even 5 or 10 minutes could very well mean someone else will be waiting a bit longer on a 911 request - I guess just hope it's not you that's possibly impacted in a negative fashion on your 911 request/response due to someone else's prank.

The officer would have been out of the system for double that time if they were actually writing a ticket though. So what you're saying is $172 is worth taking longer on a 911 request.

Are you saying that if an urgent 911 call goes out, traffic cops are obligated to finish issuing traffic tickets before responding?

No I am not as I am not aware of how the whole CPS dispatch process works but one can't help but wonder if dealing with BS stuff might have a negative impact. I know I would rather see a CPS officer not having to deal with someone's stunt and be more readily available - hell, people might as well be doing prank 911 calls, doesn't really impact anyone until that temporarily tied up resource can't respond to an actual emergency situation as we expect of it.

[DeleriousZ]

Holy shit, it looks like everyone remembered to take their serious pill this morning.

[BigShow]

It's not funny or cute, it's childish if you ask me.

[FraserB]

Hopefully they would issue a ticket, even if it was jsut to make you show up to court for a few hours to waste your time.

Problem is that some beyond goof would think this is a great idea and do it and then be back in here whining about a police officer over reacting by issuing them a tint ticket or something like that. Play with fire and maybe expect to get burned? :dunno:

[Aleks]

I don't get why you would mess with cops at all.

What's next making a cookie that looks like a gun and pointing it at them? :rofl:

[DeleriousZ]

No, the problem is everyone is taking this seriously when it was meant to be a troll/joke post in the first place. :dunno:

[speedog]

Will await first thread from someone who tried this dumb prank and yeah, there are at least a few beyond members who would stoop to this level.

[Modelexis]

Don't taze me bro.

Buddy got a stunting ticket for yelling out his window at a buddy..

[Mitsu3000gt]

How would you not get a ticket for this? You already get tickets for being on a cell phone even though there isn't even one in the car, shifting a manual transmission, scratching your face, accelerating faster than surrounding traffic, etc.

Regardless of what you're "allowed" to do (which includes smoking, drinking, eating, playing with car features, popping in a CD, talking to multiple passengers, etc.), it clearly only matters what the officer decides he/she wants to give you a ticket for. Whether you're guilty or not is completely irrelevant, because even if you're innocent you still need to waste as much or more money as the ticket cost in your own time. The driver loses every time, either way.

While I think that cookie is pretty hilarious, I think any officer felt made a fool of or anything along those lines would still give you a ticket. "Sorry, I saw you on a cell phone - that'll be $172". Completely irrelevant if there is even a cell phone in the car, you're screwed.

[revelations]

I would pay to see a Beyond member in court defending themselves from a ticket with a cookie defense. Make sure you have a video camera ready in the car though.

[Sugarphreak]

[revelations]

^ that sounds like something a traffic member would do for sure ....

If it was a regular CPS member, they would probably laugh it off - and then take the cookie and show their buddies back at the shop :rofl:

Hold on a second. So why doesn't the police ticket the dead fetus protestors? Pretty hard not to look at that fucking 30' banner they hold over the edge of an over pass?

This is exactly why I wouldn't be doing it.

Even if you don't get a ticket for the cookie, you can argue the the tint ticket should be tossed or the exhaust or the other tickets they decide to give you for being a retard.

Not so much.

But anyways - I actively encourage this. I will not only stop you because you appear to be on your phone, but in lieu of a ticket I will effect immediate roadside sanctions on you in the form of turning over said cookie to me for my own use.

Nom nom nom. :thumbsup:

Hey, if he's willing to move all his cookie making stuff up onto the bridge where the fetus banners are, then I suspect he has some bigger issues to deal with - baking them at home probably wouldn't be much of a noticeable protest.
