Beautician behind the wheel

The other morning I was in a slow-crawling traffic jam when I observed the woman behind me, presumably steering with her knees while she used two hands to apply her makeup using her rear vision mirror. If she had been using her rear vision mirror correctly she might have observed the person behind her talking on his cellphone.

The second action strikes me as less dangerous. Opponents of a ban on holding cell phones, which looks like going through in the fourth US state, California, argued there are many distractions in motor vehicles which couldn't be legislated against.

Again, a lack of commonsense means more laws and more enforcement.
