NORTH WALES, England --The roadside camera was supposed to catch speeders. Instead, a British woman is in trouble after she was videotaped with a compact in one hand and a brush or pencil in the other hand while driving on a hazardous road in North Wales.

A top North-Wales police official says he "can't imagine a more dangerous act than to be driving along the road, take your hands off the wheel and to put makeup on."

The 22-year-old was fined about $340 and given six points on her driver's license.

2. If he can't "imagine a more dangerous act..." to commit when driving,

(or in the passenger seat) then he is boooo-ring! :evilgrin:

3. I saw a guy reading the newspaper one morning

On the highway of all things. He had it spread over the steering wheel and he glanced up here and there..lol. Unreal.

4. In junior high, our bus driver used to read the Bible. At the wheel.

While moving in traffic. :scared:

Maybe she was hoping to return to God sooner than later. And wanted to take a busload of children with her for company!
