POLICE stopped a driver on the motorway after she was seen putting on her makeup while driving.

Officers pulled her over at junction five of the M5 after she was spotted applying makeup while driving through the roadworks section.

The Central Motorway Police Group uploaded a picture of the car to Twitter.

Sioux Hine wrote on Facebook: "As one who has to deal with the aftermath of such behaviour I applaud the police for pulling her - every time.

"Open your eyes your car is a weapon and can kill, especially when the driver thinks it just does not matter to drive with due care and attention!"

Darryl Phillpots thinks people smoking and driving are just as dangerous and added that throwing lit cigarette butts out of the window is also dangerous.

Mandy Morris said her husband regularly drives up the M5 and told her he saw a woman driving with her knees while eating a yoghurt.
