A health and safety expert in Scotland has been banned from driving after he was caught shaving as he overtook a line of rush-hour traffic at 112km/h. Edward Hutcheson, 39, was seen leaning forward to look in his rear-view mirror as he used an electric shaver. He was banned for six months and fined $600 after being found guilty of careless driving on the A9 near Auchterarder, Perthshire, last March. Perthshire.co.uk reports that he told police he was late for a first aid course. Hutcheson, who had previously worked on accident investigations with the police, also claimed he had been leaning across the car at an awkward angle so he could see past a dozen mannequins he had stored in the back of his car. The court heard how police officers saw him drive past their patrol vehicle as he used an electric shaver on his face and crane his head to look in the rear view mirror.
