Britney Spears “failed to notice” car in front of her on freeway

Britney Spears hasn’t been doing too much of her own driving since a court commissioner placed dad Jamie Spears in charge of her general welfare. But Saturday night she got behind the wheel and promptly caused a minor chain-reaction collision Saturday on Los Angeles’ 101 Freeway.

The early evening accident occurred in Brit’s Mercedes-Benz in stop-and-go traffic a few miles beyond the 101-405 interchange when she bumped into the car in front of her. CHP Officer Patrick Kimball said:
“She failed to notice that the vehicle in front of her had come to a complete stop. She attempted to break but failed to stop her vehicle prior to colliding with a 2006 Nissan. As a result, the car Spears hit was pushed into another vehicle, the driver of which, did not observe any damages.”

Sounds more like her spokeperson then a cop with that “failed to notice” tip toeing.

Kimball continued:

No drivers were cited and “nobody was injured.”

I don’t understand how you fail to brake in time causing a chain-reaction collision, and you don’t get a ticket?

Spears was given a field sobriety test by the California Highway Patrol and passed, and apparently that’s standard procedure with a car accident at that time of night. She was not behaving as if she was drunk and officers did not suspect that she was.

The guy in the car Britney hit was 21, and he told TMZ that he was checking out Britney in his rearview mirror before she hit him and noticed that she was applying makeup.  Oops! It wasn’t until after the minor crash that he realized who she was.

Following the accident, Britney sporting blond hair after getting a new weave, had dinner at Italian hotspot Dominick’s in West Hollywood with mom Lynne Spears and Lynne’s friend Jackie.
