Makeup scofflaws are the latest to be captured by Britain's network of roadside cameras that are intended to catch speeders. Donna Maddock, 22, of Mold, Wales, was fined $350 for using both hands to apply makeup while driving along a Welsh highway where accidents have killed or injured 50 people in recent years. Roadside cameras caught the woman with a mascara brush in one hand and a compact in the other. The woman, who pleaded guilty to careless driving while traveling 32 mph in a 40 mph zone, also was ordered to pay court costs and had six negative points added to her driver's license. A North Wales police spokesman told Sky News that a car is a "dangerous lump of metal" in the wrong hands. "You need to be in control at all times and Miss Maddock's actions beggars belief," the police spokesman said. © Copyright 2006 by United Press International
