LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- A lawyer for Britney Spears is hoping to get the pop singer out of a trial for a misdemeanor charge of driving without a license.

Spears' lawyer in the case, Michael Flanagan, told Access Hollywood he will file a petition on Thursday to ask the Superior Court of Los Angeles to accept their proof the star has a valid license. He wants the case dismissed and for Britney to be able to pay a $10 fee.

The case stems from an August 2007 incident in which Spears was videotaped as she bumped another vehicle while parking her Mercedes-Benz. She left -- without leaving a note -- after looking over the damage to just her car from the fender-bender.

The owner of the other vehicle later filed a police report and Spears was charged a month later with misdemeanor hit-and-run and driving without a valid license. The hit-and-run charges were dismissed in October 2007 after Spears paid an undisclosed sum to the owner.

Flanagan has said that Spears was driving with a Louisiana license that was valid because she owns homes in that state.

The next hearing on the matter will occur this Thursday, September 18.

    This gal's a real airhead who has raced about in her car with her 2 sons inside. She seems to have little respect for the law, therefore all these issues keep cropping up on her. She may think that her money will make these problems go away & she'll go about her merry way. Stars expect leniency & cry foul otherwise!

    Brit please go away! Your mom is a horrible parent too-the proof is in the pudding. She created messed up girls by allowing them to be pornified from age 13! This is the result-teen pregnancy (in a relationship that wont last) and a daughter who herself is a BAD parent. The saddest part is the 3 kids that are going to be hurt the most. We should look at Spears and know what NOT to do as parent

    Dear Jade, I am from Alabama and we drive quite well here. Don't put all people in the South in a category of idiots. I live in the hub of the Space Industry and have a PhD in Astro Physics but I do love to look at this board.
