CUDJOE KEY, Fla. (CBS/WFOR) Megan Barnes was driving while doing what?!?!

No, the 37-year-old woman wasn't on her cellphone. She wasn't texting, either.

The Florida Highway Patrol says Ms. Barnes was driving while shaving - there's more - driving while shaving her, uh, "bikini area." Well, that's what the cops call it.

It might not surprise you to learn that during Barnes' ride on the razor's edge, she allegedly crashed into the backup of a pickup truck in Cudjoe Key, Fla, according to CBS affiliate WFOR. Then, she and her ex-husband reportedly drove another half-mile before being pulled over last Tuesday morning.

We're told the ex-husband was actually doing the steering -- from the passenger seat, of course.

Patrol officers say they determined that in addition to this bit of "landscaping" behind the wheel, Barnes was already driving with a suspended license, just one day after she was convicted of driving under the influence.

Now, for her apparent adventure with blade in hand, throw in charges of reckless driving, driving with a revoked license, leaving the scene of a crash with injuries, and driving without insurance. The good news, nobody was seriously hurt.

Trooper Gary Dunick, describing what Ms. Barnes was thinking, explained, "She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit."

We knew there was a logical explanation.

Me think she needs more than a shave to be ready, YIKES!! People like this should have their license revoked of life.

I had to look at the date to make sure this wasn't another instance of the brain dead driving..... It's the same one I read back in March....

And they say men are idiots????

I always thought that the shavers are not to bright.

Wait a minute I'm getting a deja vu here,lol.

[in my own world :D]

Errr... but wait... Timing is everything! :gasp:

well, the auto makers should take note...I remember in the '50s (or was it the '40s??) an option that some car came with was a holder for a ...get this....a parasol lol........maybe they should come with electric razors so the guys and ladies can shave.....
