Woman fined for putting make-up on at wheel

It is about time! I see a woman putting on make up, eating, or blabbing on the cell phone everyday! I also see men doing the last two as well.

A woman was caught on police video putting on her make-up while driving at 32mph has been fined £200.

Donna Maddock, 22, from Mold in north Wales, was pictured with both hands off the steering wheel putting on her eye make-up.

Magistrates in Pwlhelli fined Ms Maddock £200 plus £55 costs after she pleaded guilty to a charge of careless driving.

She was also given six points on her licence. A spokeswoman for North Wales Police said the incident "beggars belief".

She said: "A car is a dangerous lump of metal in the wrong hands.

"You need to be in control at all times and Miss Maddock's actions beggars belief."

Ms Maddock was pictured on police video cameras holding a compact mirror and an eye brush while driving along the A499 in Pwllheli in north Wales.

Yeah, I used to see women do the makeup thing all the time when I was stateside. It always annoyed me the most when they don't pay attention when the light turned green.

As for the eating part...I did that a lot.

I just couldn't find any time between work and evening classes.
