Hands-free driving defence: I'm blonde

PWLLHELI, Wales, March 9 (UPI)

A traffic court in Wales has ignored the "I'm blonde" defense plea of a woman charged with driving with no hands while applying make-up.

Donna Maddock, 22, was captured on videotape by a police anti-speeding van on the A499 highway in north Wales, said to be one of the most dangerous roads in Britain.

"It is what I would call one of my blonde moments," Maddock told The Sun. "It's something all women do -- I can't see what the fuss is about."

Maddock used part of her left arm to steer the car and her left hand to hold her make-up, while she applied eye-shadow with her right hand.

"All my friends think it's hilarious and have admitted to me they have done exactly the same. They've just never been caught," she said.

On top of a driving suspension she received for drunk driving last week, she was fined $235.
