This woman’s behavior has been described by police as a fatality waiting to happen.

Captured by a fellow driver the photograph shows a woman using both hands to floss her teeth while driving her car.

The commuter snapped the woman driving at a speed of 100 kilometres per hour on one of the Gold Coast's busiest roads, the M1 at 2:40pm on Monday.

The photographer, Derek Flett, said the driver was doing this for about 10 minutes prompting him to beep his horn at her, MSN reports.





‘We beeped the horn and asked what she was doing and she just looked at us as if to say,

'I'm flossing, what do you think I’m doing?'’ he said.

‘There were no hands on the wheel … She was having a real go at it.’

Gold Coast Chief Superintendent Des Lacy has described the incident as a close call.

"She would have to be holding the steering wheel with her knees and would only need one event such as something coming out from the side of the road, or a vehicle changing lanes, for things to go bad," he said.
