Pretty ladies don't always get a pass at police checkpoints -- in fact, TMZ has learned cops impounded Cindy Margolis' ride this weekend after they discovered her driver shouldn't have gotten behind the wheel. 
According to law enforcement sources ... Cindy -- the most downloaded woman on the Internet back when people used CompuServe -- was a passenger in her 2010 Lexus SLX when her driver rolled up to a DUI and driver's license checkpoint in L.A.
We're told her driver didn't have a valid license -- so cops issued the guy a citation and seized the car.
Cindy and her driver eventually found another way home -- and Cindy went to the impound lot the next day to pick up her car. But the incident didn't come cheap -- we're told Margolis had to fork over $246.35 in fees.
TMZ spoke to Cindy who told us, "[The cops] probably could have stopped my car from being towed from the location, but everyone was busy taking photos with me and asking for autographs."
She added, "They lost track of what was happening with the car.”

For a moment there I thought they got Heidi Montag's pic mixed up with Cindy Margolis! Just... ewwww.
taking pictures...and asking for autographs...only if they had mistaken her for the real housewives of New Jersey....time for some new eyebrows babe...
According to CA law if Cindy is a licensed driver she could have taken control of the car, unless she too was under the influence.
"But the incident didn't come cheap -- we're told Margolis had to fork over $246.35 in fees."
Really!! She's driving a 2010 Lexus, wherever will she come up with that kinda cash?
TMZ, how little do you pay your paps?
She looked better before she got plasticized (with plastic surgery).
I agree, Cindy could have taken possession of the vehicle (Maybe she does not have a license). Also, I doubt there was a crowd of people taking her picture and asking for autographs probably one or two and they probably thought she was someone from Real Housewives of OC...
Do people only comment if they have cruel things to say? I'm commenting to show my respect for Cindy Margolis & now to say educate yourself before commenting. TMZ always posts the worst possible pic's of celebrities. Cindy Margolis is beautiful woman. You can find a million pic's of her to prove it. Google her and you will see. Online her feats are unprecedented! Launching the Internet revolution. Cindy Margolis is honored with the official title “The Most Downloaded Woman” by Guinness Book of World Records. Labeled an Internet phenomenon by everyone from Yahoo!, America On Line's Woman of the Year, Forbes, The Wall Street Times, Fortune, Time Magazine’s Most Influential Internet Entrepreneurs to Vanity Fair and People Magazine's Most Beautiful People. If you've seen her interviews she's down-to-earth, fun, caring woman with a heart of gold. She balances her sex symbol status with modesty and grace, and doesn't let her fame go to her head. Her family, her three children, are obviously her priority, which is incredibly refreshing to see in the land of the rich and famous. NOT remotely anything like the Real Housewives trainwrecks.
Really Erica, I beg to differ. I have personally been involved in a nightmare regarding Cindy and her classless acts. You say, she's a down to earth, fun and caring women....I think my children would strongly disagree with you! You say her family and her children are her top priorities....I beg to differ. Come read my horrifying emails that where exchanged between my husband and her, emails that where exchanged between Guy (her husband) and me (yes, it was he who broke the news to me and yes they where still living together and married at the time), emails she wrote to me admitting to destroying my family, my marriage and my life....she is a sick human being who only cares about herself and did not think twice about devestaing and destroying my family........ She does not deserve your kind words...check your facts before posting something you clearly have no clue about!
LOL! THE ABOVE POST BY "NO NAME" ONLY PROVES ERICA IS RIGHT! EVERY WORD ERICA WROTE IS THE TRUTH CINDY MARGOLIS IS A CLASS ACT INSIDE & OUT! AND UNLIKE THE "NO NAME" CLUELESS B*TCH WHO CLEARLY INTENTIONALLY WROTE ALL THOSE CRUEL LIES ABOUT CINDY WITHOUT ONE WORD OF FACTS...I DO PERSONALLY KNOW CINDY, HER EX-HUSBAND GUY & HER THREE PRECIOUS CHILDREN NICHOLAS, SIERRA & SABRINA. CINDY IS AN AMAZING MOM. FACT. READ HER BOOK "HAVING A BABY WHEN THE OLD FASHIONED WAY DOESN'T WORK" OF HER STRUGGLE TO HAVE HER CHILDREN AND ALL THE FAMILIES SHE HAS HELPED THROUGH HER CHARITY TO HAVE THEIR MIRACLE BABIES. FACT. CINDY IS DEVOTED TO FAMILY & CHILDREN. FACT. FOR POSTING A COMMENT ON TMZ INTENTIONALLY LYING THAT CINDY BROKE UP A MARRIAGE LIKE THAT SHOULD BE LEGAL GROUNDS TO SUE. CINDY WAS THE MOST DEVOTED WIFE TO GUY AND THEIR MARRIAGE. OBVIOUSLY "NO NAME" IS AS IMMATURE AS GUY'S 23 YEAR OLD GIRLFRIEND WHO HE MET AND HAS BEEN SEEING SINCE SHE WAS 18. FACT.
