Video: Cyclist in London loses the head at driver eating a bowl of cereal behind the wheel

Cereal offender

Not such a grrrr-eat way to behave behind the wheel.

Lots of people in a hurry in the mornings often have to get their breakfast on their way to work; it’s not ideal but it has to be done sometimes.

As a result, you’ll regularly see someone pick up a couple of sausage rolls or an alternative snack that they can eat on the go; what you won’t often see is somebody eating a bowl of cereal behind the wheel while stuck in traffic on the morning commute.

Such a scenario materialised in London earlier this week and a cyclist who came across it wasn’t best pleased.

In fairness to him, eating a bowl of cereal behind the wheel fairly obviously impairs a driver’s ability to drive properly and so causes a hazard to others on the road.

The cyclist snapped, crackled and popped and decided to confront the driver in question, who seemed happy enough to keep munching away and ignore his threats to go to the police.

Maybe stick to a cereal bar next time.
