Britney Courted for Red-Light Run

miércoles, 14 de noviembre de 2007 |

Sean Preston and Jayden James might not have to wait until nursery school to learn the ins and outs of the old playground favorite Red Light, Green Light.

At the behest of Kevin Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, an emergency hearing has been scheduled for Friday to further probe Britney Spears' decision to run a red light Thursday while her visiting children were in the car, rather than wait out the 60 seconds with the paparazzi, who inevitably captured the whole thing on film.

Kaplan told E! News on Monday that he was reviewing the footage to determine whether to call for a hearing.

Spears' camp, predictably, didn't believe the video necessarily showed the "Gimme More" warber was a lousy motorist.

"Ms. Spears was being mobbed by paparazzi at the time," Spears' attorney Sorrell Trope told People. "She was distracted. This was not blatant irresponsible driving on her part."

Meanwhile, neither Trope nor Kaplan had any further information about Spears' latest drug tests in light of recent published reports that one came back with a false positive.

During a hearing last Thursday, Spears' legal camp stated that the Blackout artist had showed up for 10 tests and passed every one, while Kaplan maintained that she only made herself available for 6 out of 14 requested tests.

Spears attorney Anne Kiley also suggested that her client be allowed six hours to present herself after the court calls for her to be tested, but Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon said that the current one-hour prep time would remain in place.

And now, there's this vehicular infraction.

Several paparazzi agencies on Friday published video and still images of Spears making a turn into oncoming traffic—possibly while texting. The apparent infraction came hours after the custody hearing and while Spears' court-appointed monitor was in the car.

Gordon was already scheduled to rule Nov. 26 on a request from Kaplan that the 25-year-old multitasker be prohibited from chauffeuring her sons, and this latest alleged development can only add more fuel to the privilege-slashing fire.

Court documents released Nov. 1 showed that the main reason Spears lost custody of two-year-old Sean and year-old Jayden on Oct. 1 was that she had been driving them around while lacking a valid California driver's license.
