Paris Hilton is a Bad Driver

Handicapped?

Its not been good for Americas most spoiled socialite during the last few weeks. Apparently the Mercedes-McLaren SLR owner has decided that shes above the law. Shes been caught regularly parking in a handicapped spot and then caught on film ramming a Honda Civic in her Range Rover before fleeing the parking lot as fast as her 305 horsepower SUV could take her. And to top it all off, a recent lawsuit has been filed blaming her for starting a multi-car collision on a Los Angeles highway.

It all began in May of 2004. One Brooke Ashley Brinson, identified as Ms.

Hiltons cousin, was driving a Mercedes-Benz registered to Hilton when she approached stopped traffic. Not slowing, Brinson allegedly rear ended the car in front of her, causing a chain reaction involving four cars. The three plaintiffs, Ivan Alvarez, Monica Delgado, and the couples son Nicholas Alvarez were two cars in front of the Mercedes. The plaintiffs lawyer maintains the family sustained

serious injuries, and as such filed the suit with Hiltons insurance family after discover shes only covered for the bare minimum of $5,000 property damage. The suit is looking for $250,000 per plaintiff. The irony? She wasnt even in the Mercedes during the accident.

It appears she makes a habit of not being in her Mercedes when theyre breaking the law; her latest law-breaking trend being that shes been leaving her aforementioned SLR parked in the handicapped spot of her latest boy-toy, Matt Leinarts (quarterback for the Cardinals) high-rent apartment building. The other residents of the building have since complained. And to top

it all off, not even a week later she was leaving a parkade after an undoubtedly tiring shopping spree on Robertson Boulevard with he newest "Best Friend Forever" and Nicole Ritchie replacement Kim Kardashian. After loading the expensive purchases into her Range Rovers trunk she proceeded to back up (sans seat belt of course - wouldnt want to wrinkle the duds) while looking forward. Predictably, she backed into a car; a poor Honda Civic to be precise. Thankfully, the ever present paparazzi caught accident on film, and Ms Hilton has since explained her thinking; or lack thereof. Apparently the collision had her so shaken up that she actually forgot who she was, clearly eliminating the possibility of leaving a note saying who had damaged the Civic. Perhaps such a handicap makes it so she does deserve that parking spot at her boyfriends condo after all.
