Quote:
A health and safety expert has been banned from driving after he was caught shaving as he overtook a line of rush hour traffic at 70mph.
Edward Hutcheson, 39, was seen leaning forward to look in his rear view mirror as he used an electric shaver.

He was banned for six months and fined £300 after being found guilty of careless driving on the A9 near Auchterarder, Perthshire, last March.

He told police he was late for a first aid course, Perth Sheriff Court heard.

They can't make definite rules on everything that can be done in a car, so an unclear definition like careless driving have to be used and decided by a court for that individual case.

I do see the irony of him risking life of others in order to lower the risk of death trough a first aid course.

hi , hippo !
thanks for your comment !
i thought this was going to die a 'quick death' - it's probably going to die a 'slow death' now :wink: .

being 'clean-shaven' was probably part of his job description .

Hi there mr. Hamburger!

That's the best kind of death.
And who in their right mind would take life saving advice from a man with a beard? I think you are stating the obvious.
