Oreo Blamed for Driver's Speeding Offense

People give all sorts of reasons for speeding - they're late, they didn't realize they were going so fast - but in this case the driver said it was a poorly dunked Oreo that caused him to speed.

Justin Vonkummer, 28, of Millerton, N.Y., told police that an Oreo had just slipped from his fingers as he dunked it in a cup of milk, and that he was trying to fish it out when he lost control of his car.

Ah, I see.

Is it time to ban driving while eating, as some states are trying to do with talking on cell phones unless using a hands-free setup?

Sure, sure, Justin, but what about driving on a suspended license, the second charge in the case? Did the cookie make you do that, too?
