To a case involving a hungry driver in England.
A driver was stopped by police for eating soup while behind the wheel.
The incident happened yesterday in the English town of Bedford.
Police tweeted two pictures of the driver enjoying soup with a spoon with no hands on the steering wheel.
Police admitted they also caught some other "fast food eaters" driving on the same day.
The local Highway Code stipulates that a driver must "drive or ride with both hands on the wheel or handlebars where possible."
Eating behind the wheel is not illegal, but police can a driver for careless driving if this act causes the driver to become distracted and lose control of the vehicle.
In more serious cases, it can carry a maximum fine of 5,000 pounds, up to 9 penalty points on the licence plus a court-imposed driving ban.
