Ah, the classic 'Can I munch on my sausage roll while hurtling down the highway?' In Australia, eating while driving isn’t explicitly illegal, but it could land you in hot water if it distracts you from the road. The law focuses on 'using a mobile phone or other device' and 'driving without due care and attention.' So, if your snacking causes careless driving, expect a fine and demerit points.
In short, it’s not the sandwich itself that’s illegal, but the distraction it may cause. So, unless you want to test your luck at the nearest ServiceCentral office, better pull over or keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
