New Driver Can't Handle Britney's Heat -- Drives Off

Britney Spears finally wised up and hired a driver to help, er, curb some of her recent mishaps behind the wheel. Good move! Except that just days later, he is already "on his way out."

TMZ has learned that the chauffeur/driver Spears hired to drive her, the kids and a court-ordered monitor around town is quitting -- because driving for Brit Brit is a "liability." Obviously! A source close to Spears tells TMZ, that the driver and a monitor both had very close calls with paparazzi and other vehicles while driving Miss Britney.

A close call is an improvement over running over photog's foot.

151. Britney, I have placed my notice at work and will be leaving within the next few days in order to become your official driver. I have an excellent driving record and would be happy to motor you to and from any event that you wish, 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
We can negotiate the salary and fringe benefits at a later time.
Just give me a call anytime after 5 pm today.

152. All the Irene haters - she's right, isn't she - you're all tweeners who just got home from school (probably public school - you have my sympathy) aren't you??

Irene I admire your guts & determination. These LOSERS are just jealous of Britney and LOVE to kick people when they are down (as well as torture puppies for a hobby) in order to make themselves feel better.

Life in a fishbowl is difficult at best - I think LMAO and his/her teeny pals would crumble at the first flashbulb! Not that anyone would be interested in following them around (sorry children!).

Maybe you should all consider hitting the books or texting each other on mommy & daddy's dime. And while you're at it, wash your hair and take out the garbage, si vous plait (look it up). Or is it time for The Hills to come on??

153.

I blame the papstorm for 99% of the vehicular madness. It is THEY who are causing traffic and safety issues by constantly following her and causing mob scenes wherever she goes. If Britney or someone in her posse is calling them, they need to stop.

They give no thought to other vehicular traffic OR pedestrians when they are in or around the vicinity of Britney. She's like a fox to the slavering hounds.

If Britney's attorney was smart, she would ask the court for restraining orders against each and every pap and have their collective azzes thrown in jail.

Evil paps.

155. I say just hit the paps....they know they are in the way. You put the stars and others in danger, you are going to get run over once in awhile. I'd hit you with my Mercedes if you were in the way like you are.

163. If Britney actually calls the paps before she goes somewhere to tell them where she is, then it is her fault. She knows that they will be hovering around her car that close, and they are just doing their job. It's like calling over a criminal and not expecting them to do anything to you.

Wait you mean to tell me that after only a few days of putting up with the harassment of the paparazzi, A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER cant even handle it and we are still givng britney shi...... and calling her a bad driver. and a bad mother??? i cant believe people on here!!!give her a break. a guy that drives for a living cant even drive her around thats how bad she is being harassed. wake up people, shes not as bad as the media is making her out to be.
