can you eat and drive in qld

Yes, you can eat while driving in Queensland—there’s no rule that bans the act of chewing.

But if that burger distracts you and you’re not in proper control of the car, you can be booked for failing to have proper control or driving without due care and attention. Police won’t care that it was “just one chip” if it leads to wobbly lane-keeping or napkin-induced chaos. Keep it neat, keep both hands available, and save the messy stuff for the servo car park. Common sense now; demerit points later.
