A Mississippi road-safety campaign urged drivers to avoid eating while behind the wheel on National Fried Chicken Day, a social media post by Drive Smart MS said.
The post told motorists to “get home in one piece before attacking your eight-piece” and said “distractions are definitely not in the secret recipe for safety,” the post said.
The social media message included the slogans “Drive first, drumsticks later” and the hashtags #NationalFriedChickenDay, #SouthernFood, #DriveSmartMS and #JustDrive, according to the post.
The post framed the holiday reminder as a safety message for motorists, urging drivers to prioritize driving before eating, Drive Smart MS said.
