"Admit it: Have you ever leaned in to the rearview mirror and swiped on a little mascara while waiting at a red light, or dusted on some powder during a traffic jam? If so, you better pay attention to this tidbit of news ... According to the Chicago Tribune, prosecutors in Illinois are considering charging a woman with a felony after she struck and killed and motorcylist while (allegedly) polishing her nails at the wheel. (She originally only got a ticket for &amp;quot;failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.&amp;quot;) State legislators are also considering enacting a new &amp;quot;negligent vehicular homicide&amp;quot; law that would put applying makeup or using cellphones at the wheel on par with drunk driving, in terms of the punishment that could result--a prison sentence, $25,000 fine and license suspension. What do you think: Would a law like this be excessive, or long-overdue? I&amp;#x27;m also fascinated by women I see applying a full face of makeup on the subway. Not as potentially hazardous, to be sure, but there&amp;#x27;s certainly a decent risk of stabbing one&amp;#x27;s eye out when the train comes to a sudden, jerking halt. Plus, it&amp;#x27;s kind of a messy and ... personal ... activity to be undertaking on public transportation, in my opinion. No? Any on-train primpers in the house want to defend your actions? Confession time: Do you apply makeup in the car? What does it tend to be: just lip stuff, or more involved things like mascara, concealer or blush? Anybody actually curl their lashes on the road? Also, will you girls who apply on the go explain to me why this happens: Is it that you&amp;#x27;re chronically running late? For those who don&amp;#x27;t, do you think primping at the wheel should be considered a felony, like drunk driving?
