Britney Spears causes minor car accident on the highway The misfortunes of pop-star Britney Spears behind the wheel continue, this time the singer caused a minor car accident on the California's Ventura Freeway. According to the report by the California Highway Patrol, Britney Spears was stuck in stop-and-go traffic in her new Mercedes, when her car struck a Nissan in front of her that had stopped. The Nissan then pushed forward into another vehicle, but the entire incident left no damage on the vehicles and no injuries to the occupants. "She failed to notice that the vehicle in front of her had come to a complete stop. She attempted to brake but failed to stop her vehicle prior to colliding with a 2006 Nissan," California Highway Patrol Officer Patrick Kimball was quoted. Kimball also mentioned that despite the rumors, Britney Spears was not given a DUI test, California Highway Patrol took a report and no one was cited in the accident.

And in October of 2007, Britney Spears pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid driver's license and later obtained a temporary California license.
