Britney Spears Worries Fans As She Films Illegal Instagram Video While Driving
Britney Spears’ concerning online behavior continues, as the singer recently got attention for the wrong reasons while seeming to film a video for Instagram in a moving car, which is not only safe but illegal in the state of California.
Spears took to Instagram on Thursday, sharing a series of video clips that showed off her dance moves. The three videos showed glimpses of her recent countryside drive, showcasing her choreography to tunes like “Back In Black” by Amy Winehouse and “S.O.S.” by Indila.
Among these posts, however, was a concerning sight, as the singer appeared to be using her phone while driving a car.
Another clip depicted the green countryside juxtaposed against the ocean, with construction trailers, road signs, and passing vehicles dotting the landscape. But with concern that Britney was holding the camera while also being responsible for the wheel, it’s led to concern amongst fans and the media over her behavior.
In California, it is illegal to use a cellphone while driving, unless it is being used in a hands-free manner. The law prohibits holding a phone while behind the wheel for any reason, including talking, texting, or browsing the internet.
Violations of this law can result in fines starting at $20 for the first offense and $50 for subsequent violations, with additional fees added to the fine amount. Moreover, repeat offenders may face points on their driving record, potentially leading to increased insurance rates and license suspension.
