Woman Crashes Car While Shaving, uh, Down There

KEY WEST -- 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 accident 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.

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.

I always pull over if I'm going to do any manscaping. Or use my hands-free device.

There is a pic of her if you click on the link. The funny thing is that her EX-HUSBAND was in the car with her and was shaving so she would be ready for her BOYFRIEND :-)

Thanks for the advice!!!

I usually shave down there while grocery shopping!!!:-)

Seriously, was she wet shaving, using clippers, or an electric razor??? None of it sounds very safe!!!

Looks like her ex-husband is a hell of a friend!!!

I wonder how she explained all that to her boyfriend???

She has such beautiful blonde hair....why did she die her roots black? :-)
[Reply]

It's funny they mentioned that their evidence that she was driving was her ex-husbands burns from the airbag! Didn't they notice anything on the drivers seat like a bunch of pubs???

:-) And here I thought Dan was the boyfriend, not the ex!

Yikes! Unbelievable...

Entirely too cool.

Good thing I read this before I left the house today. I saved myself from an embarrassing incident.

Hey, she was in a hurry.

Ten bucks says she already finished her hair and makeup before she took on the bush management. Scary part is, I'm sure she's not the first one to try it, and now that it's in the news, definately not the last.

I wax. :-)

Riddle me this all you "shaving while driving" haters...

If I can't shave mine... then exactly whose crotch CAN I shave while driving?

:-)
[Reply]

Wow! That is too much. I've personally pulled up next to a women who had her leg up on the dash so that she could shave her leg while driving. Did you know that there are hair dryers and flat irons with cigarette lighter adapters? Tell me that isn't asking for trouble.

:-) All the good smart-ass comments have been used up already.
