Don't Let Reckless Brit Drive With My Kids: K-Fed

Asks court to keep sons out of unsafe car

Share

(Newser) – A series of traffic violations may further crimp custody arrangements for singer Britney Spears if her ex-husband has his way. Kevin Federline has asked a judge to forbid the reckless Brit from driving their sons to protect their safety. In the last week she was filmed running a red light, making an illegal turn and illegally passing—all while chatting on her cell phone with her kids in the car.

"It shows she's not following the rules of the court or the rules of the road," said an attorney. The court scheduled a hearing on K-Fed's request later this month. Experts suggested Brit hire a driver and take a remedial driving course to show she's serious about keeping her sons safe.
