BEIJING, Feb. 5 (Xinhuanet) -- If you are driving in northern Mexico, you will face hefty fines when you are caught dabbing on lipstick, shaving or carrying a pet at the wheel, Mexico media reported on Tuesday.

    City halls across Mexico are stiffening traffic to cut down on traffic accidents as motorists in Mexico regularly ignore stop lights, drive drunk or with children in the front seat, and carry passengers in the back of pick-up trucks. Fatal accidents are common.

    Putting on make-up or shaving with an electric razor will land drivers fines of up to 346 pesos ($32) in the northern Mexican city of Torreon from this month.

    Along with a slew of higher fines for common traffic offenses such as driving while intoxicated, speeding, and talking on a telephone without a headset.
