Amanda Bynes won’t stop putting the pedal to the metal

Actress Amanda Bynes has certainly found herself behind the wheel of controversy recently. After a slew of hit and runs and other driving mistakes, the former child star was asked by a judge to stop driving.

What's more, she's been doing so with a suspended license. People Magazine reports that Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel told the actress' attorney she cannot be driving without a valid driver's license.

Bynes' license was suspended after being charged in a DUI case and two counts of hit and run. However, multiple paparazzi have spotted her continuing to make her way around California despite having her license taken away. What's more, even after having her license taken away, she tapped the bumper of a parked car the next night and then drove off.

The Los Angeles Times reports Bynes was charged in two hit and run cases on April 10 and August 4 respectively. In August, the actress rear-ended a Toyota and stopped briefly, before deciding there was no damage and left. The victim said the actress refused to provide any information and left before calling the police, but Bynes said she and the victim agreed there was not enough damage.

Bynes' troubles began on April 6 when she was arrested for a DUI. It was the start of some bizarre behavior from the actress, who hasn't really helped her public image by going on Twitter rants.

"Hey @BarackObama … I don't drink," Bynes tweeted at the president following her arrest. "Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also don't hit and run. The end."

Bynes has been seen driving her BMW around, complete with scratches and dents from her many mishaps.

Those who have similar dings in their vehicles who don't want to pay for repair may want to consider heading to New Jersey State Auto, which offers a variety of vehicles fit for anyone's needs.
