Correct answer

CSí.Yes.

Explanation

Eating or drinking at the wheel makes you look away from the road and take a hand off the steering wheel, and it takes your attention away. Although it is not expressly prohibited, Article 18.1 of the RGC requires you to keep your freedom of movement and pay constant attention to driving; it is best to do it when you stop.
