Reportedly, during the hearing, Britney spoke out against her attorney’s advice and asked the judge if she could address the court directly. The judge agreed.

Court transcripts show Britney then took the stand in her own defence and played the videotape of her driving with one of the band on her lap (instead of a child restraining seat), behind the steering wheel as she drove away from a parking lot full of the paparazzi.

Britney then proceeded to argue that she be allowed to continue to drive Smart Artists in her car, provided that the drummer, Michael Brown do the steering, while she worked the pedals.

“Would that be alright, judge,” Britney asked the court. “If I let just the drummer do the steering while I work the pedals? What am I talking about, permission to retract that question, judge. I just realized what I was asking you was wrong. Michael’s a lot taller now. He could probably reach them on his own by now.”

It was also heard that Michael Brown and Britney have been having a short term fling whilst the band was in the US finishing off their ‘Never Too Late’ Album last November.

In amazement and disbelief, the judge shook his head, ordered a short recess and asked the court clerk for a glass of water and an aspirin.

After a short recess the court reconvened and was then presented further evidence that Britney also presents a danger to others and may even when ever she attempts to chew bubble gum and walk at the same time.

The court then saw footage of Britney nearly dropping her baby as she chewed bubble gum and was walking.

The judge agreed and ordered Britney not to chew bubble gum, walk at the same time while in the presence of her children, and especially refrain from driving Smart Artists or any other band for that matter around.
