Primp and drive? Not a good habit..

Don't you care about the kids?



Girls like me are used to be vain. We always ensure that we look great all the time so we check ourselves out in windows, car doors, actual mirrors and you bet, even with spoons, you can find us desperately trying to see if we still look good. Obsessed much. But how much?

Some surveys reveal that women look in to a mirror between 38 and 50 times each day. So it is about once every 35 minutes from when we wake up. Very consistent huh? No wonder, there is no problem with being conscious with the way we look unless, too much. As the cliché says, anything that is excessive is bad. What is dangerous about all the “self-inspection” is that 50 per cent of the survey participants also said that they use their car's rear-view mirror to check themselves out while driving! Obviously, we cannot safely primp and drive..

You can find more tsk-tsk statistics regarding that matter. About 25 per cent of female drivers put on makeup while driving although this is lower than the 44 per cent of men using the rear-view mirror to check out women in the cars behind them. Well then, 25 percent is a significant figure that can hurdle safe driving. This number can be turned to percentage of worse cases – on accident.

Drivers indeed can do a lot of things while driving. Just imagine how 2 per cent of men surveyed manage to shave in their cars. Women are vainer than men. So as to say, we should be aware of our own safety. Do not primp and drive. It’s bad! Do not primp, entertain phone calls, shave your legs, pluck your brows and take a nap while driving…. These can be deadly. :D
