    You won't see many men having this problem:)



    We should have a National no Women looking in the mirror or doing their make up and driving day. Once we get the festival of speed out of the way this weekend.

    For about 50 seconds, I was wondering what the hell that had to do with the motors forum. :o

    I think that's a disgusting video to post OP. You are distracting from the RSA message that Speed Kills. It is a well known message from the RSA that speed is singularly the cause of death on our roads.:pac:

    That hoped the sh1t outta me!

    I can't understand why people are shocked the OP posted this.

    These are are for the TV and for Social Media and for peoples foreheads if they could be seen because ads like this should be seen by everybody. That's the point. :rolleyes:

    ****! thats worse than the scrambled eggs ad.
    For anyone who hasn't seen it:

    The sound is out of sync so that ruins the effect a bit.

    She wasn't great at doing make up tbh.

    I'm sure some of the lovely ladies commuting on our roads would be able to give her a few tips

    Ah did you smudge your mascara? :p

    I have never put on make up in the car. I have seen a few women doing it.

    My sparkly sticky things fells off :(

    Nope, would never do make up in the car, ever.

    I remember a few years ago hearing on the radio about this woman who was seen on a regular basis driving between Arklow and Wicklow whilst curling her hair :eek:

    I used to see a girl most mornings doing it but when stopped at lights. I never leave the house without my make up.
    IMO you just get up 10 mins early and do it at home.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 262 ✭✭tigerblob


    I would never do make up while driving! I'm way too scared to watch that video though. Car crash ads always really upset me. I can guess what happens based on the other posts :(
    I hate that ad where the old man is distracted looking at the tractor and he crashes. I don't know why, it gets me every time :(

    I have too admit this is something I have done in the past while in traffic! Certainly not a regular thing, good that it's highlighted though as lots of women do it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,652 ✭✭✭fasttalkerchat


    A lot of women do it. A neighbour of mine used to leave the house with toast in one hand and a MUG of tea in the other! (while driving)

    I'd never do make up in my car. Have seen plenty of women do it though.

    Have also seen men shaving, and one man eating a bowl of cereal!

    People do crazy things while driving...but hey, it's their car, they can do what they want in it right? :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,875 ✭✭✭✭MugMugs


    This is a stupid video! She.never finished telling us how she applied the stone! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,352 ✭✭✭Mar4ix


    similar video about belts.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,862 ✭✭✭✭January


    IMO it takes a special kind of idiot to apply make up while driving.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    Must be a drag queen in the video, after all only men cause car crashes according to the RSA.

    Best thing car makers can do is stop putting vanity mirrors in cars.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,565 ✭✭✭✭Tallon


    But they mostly use the rear view


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,661 ✭✭✭Voodoomelon


    What i've spotted on numerous occasions, is when you're parked beside a female driver at a set of traffic lights and she's parked on your passenger side, if you look over you can actually see her eyes in the rear view mirror. The damn thing isn't even looking out the back of the car!

    Could be referring to this and missed the sarcasm. ;)

    Superglue of course!
    Now I can be extra fabulous!

    As another poster said, human error is the biggest factor.
    For some reason road safety authorities (not just our own RSA) can never get their heads around that fact.
    It could be speeding, texting, applying makeup, picking up that muffin that fell on the floor, reading a map, looking back at your kids and a million other things. All just symptoms of a mental attitude problem that goes beyond a single behavior trait in any group.
    The answer always seems to be "if we just eradicate that particular behavior, everything will be fine".
    They should concentrate on teaching good driving, rather than emphasizing bad driving.
    It is better to fight for something, than against something.

    Who's shocked that it was posted??
    I for one am shocked, deeply shocked that this was posted. In a minute or two I will think of a reason why, but for now, I am, like every neighbour of someone who gets shot or robbed, shocked. Very shocked. This used to be a quiet forum, great neighbours, now this happens. Using brown eyeshadow. With sparkles. Shocking.
    Anyone know why the desk and wall suddenly attacked the subtly attractive Blonde in the video? It was going so well. Maybe a truck hit her house.. Anyway, what with 500.000 women crashing evey day putting on their make-up, I'm surprised there's any of them left. Or is it an hour? Gotta get the sound fixed on this computer.
