Britney Spears's hit and run case has been settled with a sum of money but she still have the invalid driving license case to face.

Britney Spears has reached a financial settlement in the hit-and-run case brought against her. The 'Toxic' singer - who drove into Kim Robard-Rifkin's parked vehicle, in a San Fernando Valley car park on August 6, before driving off - agreed to pay Robard-Rifkin "around $1,000".

Britney, who will also cover the cost of Robard-Rifkin's rental car, is now hoping the hit-and-run charge will be dropped. Britney's lawyer J. Michael Flanagan said: "Britney has paid compensation approximately in the $1,000 range. Once the court sees proof of the compensation, the charge will probably be dropped."

The singer still faces a charge of driving without a valid Californian driving license. Britney was charged with two criminal charges of hit-and-run causing property damage and one of driving without a valid Californian driving license after photographers captured the incident on camera.

Meanwhile, Britney's driving is causing more problems after she drove over a photographer's foot on Thursday afternoon (18.10.07). An onlooker said: "You could see the tyre marks of Britney's car on his foot. He was in a lot of pain and was taken to hospital."

Following the incident, Britney drove off "without looking back to see what had happened". The 'Toxic' troublemaker also drove into a paparazzi photographer's parked car as she left a party in Hollywood on Monday night (15.10.07).
