Finally! Amanda Bynes Is Banned From Driving

The moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived: Amanda Bynes has had her driver's license suspended.We've been making jokes about Bynes' need for a driver—or at the very least a bus pass—for a while now because of all the trouble that she's gotten into on the road lately. She's been accused of bolting during a traffic stop, sideswiping a deputy's car while drunk and getting into not one but two hit-and-runs.
Now the Los Angeles Times reports that Bynes's driver's license has been suspended. However, DMV officials wouldn't tell the Times what was the last straw or when the suspension took place.
Recently, prosecutors charged her in two hit-and-runs, and she could face up to a year in jail.
