FHP: Driver lacked razor-sharp focus

[Renew Deal]

BY ADAM LINHARDT Citizen Staff

As authorities nationwide warn motorists of the dangers of driving while texting, Florida Keys law enforcement officers add a new caution: Don't try to shave your privates, either.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers say a two-vehicle crash Tuesday at Mile Marker 21 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.

"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."

If that weren't enough, Megan Mariah Barnes was not supposed to be driving and her 1995 Ford Thunderbird was not supposed to be on the road.

6. I noticed that too.

"Here, ex husband, hold the wheel while I spiff up the kitty for my boyfriend."

7. That's close to what I was thinking, but WAY funnier.

I seriously laughed so hard I teared up. Well done!

4. See, now if she had only read the DU hairy woman thread

All of this could have been avoided....She should have been more worried about that hairdo she has on the top of her head.


Nice of her ex husband to take her to see her boyfriend though. What a guy
