Provocative dress, applying makeup and use of mobile phones while driving have been cited as distractions that cause road accidents.

St John's Ambulance service yesterday said pedestrians wearing short, flimsy clothes have been linked to rising fatal accidents as most drivers do not take their eyes off "lovely figures, especially if they are wearing pretty much next to nothing".

"Stealing a quick glance at an attractive pedestrian may well be a bit of fun but, on a serious note, drivers shouldn't underestimate this type of distraction. Drive safely regardless of how short those skirts come these days," St John's communication manager Fred Majiwa said in a statement.
