'Don't put on make-up or shave while driving!' - warning from road safety experts

Road safety experts have reminded motorists not to carry out personal grooming - such as shaving or applying make-up - behind the wheel of the car.

The advice comes from M50 Concession Ltd which is the company responsible for the operations and maintenance of the M50 Motorway.

They said: "Never use the car as a personal grooming studio.

"Shaving and make-up is for the bathroom ... not the car.

"When driving concentrate on just driving." 

 European Day Without a Road Death takes place on Thursday, September 26 when a public awareness campaign across the continent urges everybody to stay safe on the roads. 

 The 40km-long M50 carries more 115,000 vehicles per day.
