Police: Driver blames speeding on poorly dunked Oreo

The Associated Press

SALISBURY, Conn. — Police say a man’s excuse for speeding through a small Connecticut town takes the cake — or, at least, the cookie.

A state trooper who stopped the 1993 BMW says its driver, 28-year-old Justin Vonkummer of Millerton blamed the driving problems on an errant Oreo.

Well, you can't have Oreos without Milk!!!

Seriously, I'm surprised that eating while driving isn't against the law, especially with the proliferation of drive throughs, as well as "portable foods", such as wraps, designed to eat while driving. I remember one Police Officer who I worked with, I think at County PD, used to nail people because they are supposed to have two hands on the wheel? Is that a NYS law?

Thats a first, I have never heard that one before.

Well I don't think the errant "Girl Scout Cookie" would have been a much better excuse either.
