A woman has been spotted flossing while she was driving on the motorway.The 36-year-old was pulled over on the M4 after police noticed her cleaning her teeth in her rear-view mirror,
The Daily Telegraph reports.
The woman, who had been travelling at 70mph, was warned about careless driving and issued a fine of £60.
A police spokesperson said: "We've caught women applying lipstick, make-up and checking their hair in the mirror - and even men using an electric razor on their way to work.
"But this is the first time we've seen someone flossing their teeth at the wheel. It was quite a bizarre sight. It is particularly dangerous because you need to use both hands which clearly should be used to drive the car."
The woman was caught during an eight-day clamp-down on motoring offences on the M4 near Gwent.
Other drivers were caught not wearing seatbelts, using mobile phones, and driving cars with defects.
"It is very concerning that a number of drivers are driving irresponsibly and carelessly on our motorways," Inspector Lee Ford said. "The potential risks not only risk the safety of the driver involved but also other road users."
