Don’t shave your pubes while driving.
Megan Mariah Barnes, 37, learned this lesson the hard way.
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. (source)
Oh, the genius gets better. This is Flori-duh, after all.
The day before the accident, Barnes was convicted of DU with a prior arrest and driving with a suspended license. She was supposed to turn her car in for impounding, and her license was suspended for five years, and she was on probation for nine months. I guess that explains why after the crash, she and her ex-husband switched seats and left the scene of the accident. When they were caught, the burns on her ex-husband’s chest (from the passenger side airbag, which deployed in the accident) belied their story that he had been driving. (source)
