Suspended License And All, Amanda Bynes Gets Pulled Over
by Sean ComerMiss Bynes, do tell: what part of "suspended" and "driving privileges" didn't quite register?
Sunday evening, former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes racked up another vehicular infraction, making about a half-dozen or so in under six months, TMZ reports. Bynes was stopped in Los Angeles driving with a license that's been suspended since Aug. 25 following a rash of vehicular collisions.
The 26-year-old star of "What a Girl Wants" and co-star of Emma Stone's "Easy A" was reportedly pulled over for driving without her headlights on, but was let off with a verbal warning. It's not clear whether or not the officer ran her plates first, but if he had, surely he would've been told something to the effect of, "Get driver no less than five miles from the nearest working motorized conveyance."
Her greatest hits so far begin with an April 6 DUI received after striking a police cruiser. Four days later, she hit a car on a San Fernando Valley stretch of the 101 Freeway but fled the scene. On May 4, she hit a truck in West Hollywood, fled the scene with the other driver following her, was finally pulled over, but was let off without charges when the damage proved minimal. Aug. 20 - two weeks removed from another DUI - she rear-ended another vehicle before once more fleeing the scene.
On Sept. 5, the two San Fernando Valley incidents officially resulted in two misdemeanor hit-and-run charges as files by Los Angeles County prosecutors.
