Adding another black mark to her already sub-par driving record, Britney Spears was involved in a minor car accident Tuesday afternoon in Beverly Hills.

According to press reports, the Gimme More singer rear-ended a red Ford Explorer, with a witness telling People magazine: "I think she was just distracted. She just tapped the other car in front of her."

Apparently, Britney was out for a joyride in her white Mercedes-Benz SL65 with the accident occurring shorty after she left her Studio City pad.

Luckily for Ms Spears, her new bald bodyguard was riding along with her - handling the situation like a pro. Reports tell that he had the driver of the Explorer follow them to Brit's gated community so that they could exchange information without the allowing paparazzi capture the moment.
