It Might Be Time for Amanda Bynes to Get Off the Road After Fourth Car Wreck

In case there was any doubt -- any doubt at all! -- left lingering in your mind about whether Amanda Bynes is or is not going through a challenging time in her personal life, she has gone ahead and gotten in another car accident in order to make things crystal clear.

Bynes was involved in a fender bender on Monday night at about 8:00 p.m. in the San Fernando Valley in which her car got rear-ended, reports TMZ, but according to the other driver, the accident happened because the 26-year-old former Nickelodeon star was driving recklessly.

Just as a quick refresher, since March, Bynes has bolted after being pulled over by cops, sideswiped a police car and incurred a subsequent DUI, been accused of several hit and runs, and tweeted the president to try to get him to fire the cop that pulled her over.

It's really been a doozy of a year.
