Two motorists applying make-up while driving get a lovely Valentine’s poem and big old fine from Gardaí

A fairly good excuse for not paying for the Valentine’s dinner.

Two Dublin motorists were handed early Valentine’s gifts by members of Gardaí after they were pulled over while applying make-up.

The pair each received a fine, this morning for €80, but it wasn’t all bad. They also got a lovely poem, which was secretly sent to them via Twitter, reading:

“Roses are red, violets are blue, €80 fine making its way to you.”

Awwwwwww.

According to a member of an Garda Síochána’s social media team: “One of them was actually curling their eye lashes.”

“Early Valentine’s preparations perhaps?”, they quipped.

On the plus side, despite losing €80 at least they will get their blush for free.
