I'm also in favor of generally minimizing distractions while driving as well but taking a sip from a cup with a straw should be effortless without having to look away.
Germany also has much more strict requirements to get a license in the first place that I wish would get adopted where I live.
Taking a sip generally isn't that distracting. But when the cup doesn't want to go into the cup holder no matter what you do, and you have to look down to figure it out is.
French cars have tiny cupholders that don't fit any takeaway cups. My Renault is infuriating if I have either a takeaway or a mug. I've had to buy a particularly narrow thermos cup to fit it.
