Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's on all the socials, it's gone viral money and
it's in k Maart have listened.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
So McDonald's and came out have made it easier to
enjoy your fries on road trips. They've released a chip
and dip hold us this bit really securely into my
cup holder. It actually clicked in. You'll find them in
the car section.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
It came out. They're five dollars eat.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Okay it is and there's there is videos everywhere with
people going is this the most genius thing I've ever seen?
So you put your chips in there and it's got
a little thing that clicks on to the front which
holds your sweet and Sour sauce or your barbecue sauce
or whatever it is that you've you know, your big
Max sauce that you want to dip your chips into.
But of course the question is now being raised that
is it actually legal to be eating your chips and
(00:40):
dipping it in there while you're driving along, because obviously
you know you need to be when you're driving. There's
no law from what I understand about not like not
eating or drinking. But it also can't cause a distraction
if you know what I mean, and not having your
hands on the wheel. And yeah, so if you're shoving
your face full of chips while you're driving, could be
a distraction in you not actually paying attention. So every
(01:02):
every state has different laws. The laws in New South
Wales and Victoria much I think, yeah, you can well
and truly copper fine if you don't have both hands
on the wheel and pay attention.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Well, I'm wondering if you go under the phone camera cameras,
you know, yes, would they.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Pick you up of their phone camera cameras? Would they
pick you up for eating it gips?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Possibly?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Would they? I think I think they. Well, let's ask
sergeant and Bradbury, who spent many years with the highway
patrols on the line with this. Good morning, and how
are you a great old friend of mine, Marny? Hello morning,
there you go, great, thank you. Now this look, I'm
surprised that they didn't invent this earlier and they've just
come out with us five dollars from k mard. You
(01:43):
can put your chips in it, but look, what are
the rules?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And look, I guess my biggest concern is that our
fatal five out there includes all of distractions okay, And
a lot of traffic crashes are caused by distraction, and
so therefore, while people are eating and while they're driving,
you know, they could be driving without too care and attention.
(02:08):
As many said before, there's no particular rules that says
you can't drive. And even at the same time, I'd
struggle to say that you're concentrating properly on the road
if you're actually huwing into your food, and if you've
got to look down to find your little sweet and
sour sauce hold a cigarette where it is rather than
jamming it into the ashtray or something, it might be
(02:29):
a bit of a drama.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Well that's yes, that's my only concern with this. It's
like you've got to take your eyes off for two
seconds to go out. Yes, am I sticking it in
the gearsticker. I'm actually getting the sauce container. Look, people
are agreeing with you. People are saying, yes, it is
an illegal. However, tucking into food as often deemed as
a distraction. Exactly as you've just said. Other people have
welcomed it and said this is genius and KFC need
(02:50):
to do a version for their chips so it fits into.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
The hold of it.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Being is specified for McDonald's chips, right like, so they,
as a lady just said, McDonald's came out come out
with this together, I would think, And that obviously something
like this would be perfect for road trips. Four passengers
in the car, probably not the driver to be chipping
and dipping at the same time.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I agree totally and with some you know, front end
back seats have cup holders these days, and so if
you don't want the kids drop them sweet and see
our sauce all over the nice leather upholstery. Yeah, that's
a good place for you to have.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, and we've both been there, haven't we.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Well, I do think for travel and on the road, yes,
but as you said, you've got to be sensible. You
can't be sitting there, you know, dipping your chips in
the sauce and taking your eyes off the road. It's
not a good.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Idea, look, I think. Yeah, it's just a great idea,
but not what you're driving, you know, for everyone else.
And you know, when the driver pull over in the
car park to have your chips before you leave, go
for it. And what a wonderful invention to that side
of things.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Well, some cars already have them. The Ford Ranger has
a chip holder molded into the center. Does it really yes.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
They make they've already. They're ahead of their time. They
know we do this. We put chips in.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
The car yep, right down the side of everything like that.
You know, under the seat. There's always kicks in every car.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Sergeant and Bradbury, thanks mate, thanks. They call him Gooseman.
