Celebrity Driving Disasters
They might be a good-looking bunch but Hollywood’s A-listers aren’t generally known for their intellectual prowess or common sense, especially when it comes to getting behind the wheel. We have collected eight of the best (or should that we worst?) celebrity driving disasters in recent years for a bit of Friday fun.
Britney Spears
It was hard to choose just one car-related calamity for Ms. Spears so we have listed her top three, in chronological order.
February 2006:
Britney found herself under investigation by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services when she took off in her car with her then five-month-old son in her lap. She claimed she was trying to protect him from a throng of paparazzi.
November 2006:
On a number of occasions back in 2006, she was photographed getting out of a car without any underwear. Enough said really.
September 2007:
En route back to rehab, a newly bald-headed Britney was caught on camera smashing an umbrella into the windows of a paparazzi’s SUV.
Paris Hilton
In 2007, Paris served just five days of a 45-day sentence for violating the terms of her 2006 probation for drunk driving. She ended up serving a total of 23 days, however, when public outrage prompted a judge to send her back behind bars.
Mel Gibson
Gibson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after being caught careering down a Californian highway at 140 kilometers per hour with a bottle of tequila. The infamous anti-semitic rant which followed made media headlines for months afterwards.
George Michael
In July of this year, Michael crashed into a shop in North London shortly after getting his license back following a two-year ban. In 2007, he was found to be under the influence of drugs while driving.
Lindsay Lohan
This summer, Lindsay served three weeks of a planned 90-day stay in jail for violating probating stemming from a 2007 conviction for driving under the influence. What is the first thing she did after getting her license back? Pick u a car at a nearby rental company.
