Influencer Molly-Mae Hague, has faced criticism from road safety organisations after being seen eating chicken nuggets while driving her £180,000 Mercedes-AMG G 63 Magno Edition. The incident occurred in Mollly's new docuseries, shortly after her public separation from Tommy Fury, her partner of five years, with whom she shares a daughter, Bambi. Road safety advocates have expressed concerns over the potential hazards of eating while driving, emphasising that such distractions can significantly impair a driver's focus and reaction times.
They urge all motorists to avoid multitasking behind the wheel to ensure the safety of all road users. Charities have also suggested that Molly should take breaks whilst driving if she insists on indulging throughout. Molly has made it clear in her docusereies that she loves the mini crispy delights.
In the first episode of Behind It All, Molly-Mae is seen visiting a McDonald’s drive-thru in her luxury wagon. She places an order, including a large Chicken Big Mac meal, six chicken nuggets, a mozzarella dipper sharebox, and three dips: curry, ketchup, and BBQ.
Later, while driving, the former Love Island star is shown eating the chicken nuggets. Speaking candidly to the camera, Molly-Mae shared: "I love food like I actually live to eat. So many people that are around me are like ‘I’ll just get the salad’ and that could never be me. If it’s salad with chips then yeah I’m on board.".
A spokesperson for IAM RoadSmart highlighted that while eating behind the wheel isn’t illegal, it can be highly distracting and may lead to careless driving charges. They emphasised that at 60mph, it takes over 70 metres to stop in an emergency, and distractions like eating could prevent a driver from reacting in time, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. Additional dangers include the possibility of spilling hot food, which could cause a sudden, uncontrolled reaction and endanger other road users.
