From todays Sun Sentinel- We all know the dangers of driving while texting or talking on a cell phone. Now Florida Keys law enforcement officers add a new caution: Don't try to shave your privates while driving, either.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers say a two-vehicle 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, reports keysnews.com.

It wasn't a close shave -- it was a total wreck. "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."

Megan Mariah Barnes should not have been driving.

The day before the wreck Barnes was convicted in an Upper Keys court of DUI with a prior and driving with a suspended license.

After the accident Barnes and her ex-husband, Charles Judy, drove another half-mile, then switched seats. Judy then claimed that he was the driver.

But the burns on Judy's chest from the passenger-side airbag deploying told another story. The airbag in the steering wheel did not deploy, according to FHP.

Troopers charged Barnes with driving with a revoked license, reckless driving, leaving the scene of a wreck with injuries and driving with no insurance.

Remember: stay focused when driving and use razor-sharp judgement.

Wow you'd think that was a precarious enough situation without driving! This makes the Mr. Bean "commuting to work" skit look sensible in comparison.

BTW, check your email cwh.

And people wonder why my wife thinks that a lot of crazy people live in Florida (she grew up in Ft Lauderdale...).

So her ex husband is taking her to see her boyfriend and she's shaving her, er, pubes to 'get ready for him' while driving ?

Wow. I seem more and more normal every day.

That's what I was thinking. Sometimes I just have to be grateful my family is relatively sane.

Anything south of Lake Okeechobee is indeed another country. I know, I live here. South of Broward Dade county line, even more so. When I pass that line, I actually feel a sphinter clench.

There was a photo (mug shot) in the news piece. Let's just say she needed all the help she could get. Butt ugly.

Most of 'em are shipped from somewhere else. Don't worry. When the crazies decide they "miss the snow and the mountains, and can't stand the heat and the humidity and the traffic, blah blah blah Flaaaahrida" they come to North GA to tell us how they do things "where they came from."

I have always said that very few people move TO Florida, they are moving AWAY from somewhere. Especially true of tradesmen.

I used to tell em "Delta is ready when you are", but the airline changed the slogan in their ads and nobody knows what it means anymore.
