Britney Spears pays over $700 for traffic violation ticket and driving school fees to avoid insurance penalty… after being pulled over twice within two months

Britney Spears forked over the money to put her recent traffic violation behind her on Tuesday.

The 41-year-old Toxic singer — whose sister Jamie Lynn Spears is having a rough go at I’m A Celeb — paid the $332 fine for her ticket from October when a police officer observed her crossing over double lines, according to TMZ. 

In addition, she shelled out another $400 to pay for traffic school to avoid gaining a penalty on her insurance, per the outlet. 

The pay out comes a month after the pop star coughed up more than $1100 to cover the costs of her September ticket.

Both traffic violations included documented communications with the police officers that pulled her over, however, neither of those appeared to be argumentative.

Spears was seen in police bodycam footage obtained by TMZ after an officer with the California Highway Patrol pulled her over October 6 by her home in Thousand Oaks, California.

Spears told the officer – the same one who had previously pulled her over September 10 for an alleged speed violation – that she urgently needed to use the restroom as she was headed to her home.  

‘I’m so sorry, I have to use the bathroom … it’s about to come out right now,’ she told the officer. ‘Sorry, my house is right there.’

Asked for her license and registration, Spears that her security team had her passport and license after she’d come back from a trip.  

The CHP officer told Spears that he was not trying to pull her over intentionally, but was looking for motorists who were speeding or passing over double yellow lines.

The officer issued the Toxic artist a citation for passing over the double yellow lines and advised her she was free to go and to drive safely. Spears received a $327 fine, due by November 21, according to TMZ. 

The violation occurred after Spears was ‘pulled over and ticketed’ for driving without a license or proof of insurance in her car by CHP September 10, just a month after her estranged husband Sam Asghari, 29, filed for divorce, according to court documents obtained by The Blast.

In that exchange, which TMZ posted bodycam footage of, the CHP officer told the pop star that she had been clocked driving 61 mph, 21 miles an hour over the 40 mph speed limit.

The star was initially pulled over for speeding in her white Mercedes, and law enforcement claim that she did not have a ‘valid license in her possession’ and failed ‘to provide a peace officer evidence of financial responsibility.’ 

‘I’m sorry, I’m so so sorry, please forgive me,’ the Womanizer songstress told the officer, who remarked that he had past stopped the singer for speeding and ‘gave [her] a break last time.’

Spears was unable to produce her driver’s license, registration or proof of insurance for the vehicle, citing that she had just returned from overseas and it had been in the possession of her security staff. 

The violations garnered the entertainer a fine of $1,140, which online records show she has since paid off, according to the publication.
