Forty patients with eating disorders who reported eating in their car at least once per week were included. Thirty subjects with eating disorders reported binge-eating while driving. A surprisingly high number of subjects reported engaging in a variety of distracting behaviors, including changing clothes, reading, applying make-up, and combing/brushing their hair while driving. Potentially problematic behaviors such as binge-eating while driving should be inquired about during assessment, and if found should be addressed in treatment planning. Keywords: Driver distraction;
