Shaving while driving = big fine!!!

MONTERREY, Mexico (Reuters) - Motorists in northern Mexico who are caught dabbing on lipstick, shaving or carrying a pet at the wheel will now face hefty fines as authorities try to cut down on traffic accidents.

Putting on make-up or shaving with an electric razor will land drivers fines of up to 346 pesos (16 pounds) in the northern Mexican city of Torreon from this month, Mexican media reported on Saturday.

Along with a slew of higher fines for common traffic offences such as driving while intoxicated, speeding, and talking on a telephone without a headset, Torreon city hall said new misdemeanours included throwing trash out of a car window, and driving with another person or an animal on a motorist's lap.

City halls across Mexico are stiffening traffic laws as motorists in Mexico regularly ignore stop lights, drive drunk or with children in the front seat, and carry passengers in the back of pick-up trucks. Fatal accidents are common.
