We all hear that we shouldn’t drink and drive, text and drive, or even talk on your cell phone and drive. There is something else we need to be cautious about. Don’t try and shave your private parts and drive. I thought that was just common sense but apparently not. I feel like this would only happen in Florida…
Florida Highway Patrol troopers say a two-vehicle crash Tuesday at Mile Marker 21 on Cudjoe Key was caused by a 37-year-old woman driver who was shaving her bikini area while her ex-husband took the wheel from the passenger seat.
“She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit,” Trooper Gary Dunick said. “If I wasn’t there, I wouldn’t have believed it. About 10 years ago I stopped a guy in the exact same spot … who had three or four syringes sticking out of his arm. It was just surreal and I thought, ‘Nothing will ever beat this.’ Well, this takes it.”
“My phone has been ringing off the hook all day, and I know there’s a funny side to this, but it’s also deadly serious. This is a scary road and a lot of bad wrecks are caused by dumb stuff like this,” Dunick said. “It is unbelievable. I’m really starting to believe this stuff only happens in the Keys.”

As if she wasn’t already a complete moron for attempting to shave while driving, she wasn’t evens upposed to be driving her 1995 Ford Thunderbird. The day before this idiotic attempt of shaving and driving, Barnes was convicted in an Upper Keys court of DUI, she was ordered to impound her car, and her driver’s license was revoked for 5 years, and when she does get it back she must have a breathalyzer ignition interlock device on any vehicle she drives. On top of all that fun stuff, she was also sentenced to nine months probation.
Wouldn’t you think if you JUST had court for something to do with driving, that you would be careful on the road? I guess not everyone thinks that way…
