Police are not endorsing the famous French suggestion "Let them eat cake'' after a car crash in Dunedin early yesterday.
Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen, of Dunedin, said a 30-year-old motorist had been eating hot cakes, believed to be takeaway fast food, while driving in North Rd about 5am.
He apparently became distracted and his car hit a parked car in North East Valley, causing moderate damage to both vehicles.
The driver was unhurt.
It was a "huge safety message'' that motorists needed full concentration at all times, Snr Sgt Dinnissen said.
