She has a long list of offenses behind the wheel.
And even after having her license suspended earlier this year, Amanda Bynes has still refused to stop driving.
But today there was finally an intervention when police pulled her over and had her black BMW impounded.
According to law enforcement insiders who told TMZ, the former Nickelodeon star was stopped by police this morning at around 9.00am in the Burbank area.
When they ran her license and found it to be suspended, they promptly impounded the actress's black car.
Bynes was also given a misdemeanor ticket for the offense.
It is the second time this month the 26-year-old has been pulled over for driving with a suspended license.
The first time was on September 9, but she was let off with a verbal warning by police.
The new move comes after the troubled actress reportedly had another car accident on Thursday night.
It is believed the former child star was attempting to cover her face while driving her black BMW, according to TMZ, as she drove out of a parking lot on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.
Amanda then 'tapped the bumper of a white car in front of her' before driving off.
The star was seen with a patterned scarf over her head, covering a large portion of her face which was further hidden by a pair of shades despite it being pitch black outside.
Her suspended driving license is thought to have stemmed from when she refused to give a sobriety test following an arrest in April for a DUI misdemeanor after sideswiping a police car.
Amanda was later charged for the DUI on June 5, and will appear in court later this month.
She was also charged on September 5 with two counts of misdemeanor hit and run for accidents.
The latest incident follows Tuesday's dramas, in which she was spied in the front seat of her car smoking from a pipe, before getting the munchies and gorging on tacos.
Bynes caused concern after she was seen driving around Los Angeles for hours, and seen to be taking multiple hits of what appeared to be marijuana.
The tool which Amanda used was reported to be a pipe designed to look like a car cigarette lighter.
Tuesday's shocking pictures showed Bynes in a parked car, behind the wheel, surrounded by a cloud of smoke as she exhaled from what appeared to be the pipe in question.
Her car was a mess, with stained seats, half-drunk bottles of soda, dog hair and various other items - including remnants of burnt (ie. already smoked) cannabis in the cup holder.
The fall from grace is all the more shocking due to the Californian's previously squeaky-clean image portrayed in Nineties' Nickelodeon shows All That and The Amanda Show.
It is believed Amanda was first spotted in the parking lot of Baja Fresh in the San Fernando Valley, where she smoked from the pipe and ate tacos after being struck by the munchies.
She is then said to have driven off, visiting a spa for three hours, before taking to the roads aimlessly 'for several hours, sometimes cutting off other drivers and violating traffic laws.'
The Teen Choice Award-winner eventually drove to a Home Depot store, to purchase some coloured light bulbs, where she again smoked from the pipe in the parking lot.
According to Radar, friends are concerned that Amanda is 'not in touch with reality.'
With one saying: 'Amanda is refusing to go to rehab or seek any form of psychiatric treatment or diagnosis, because it's clear something is up with her.
'She has been told by her agent and her dad Rick that she has substance abuse issues and needs to get help. She's a lost little girl right now.'
Yet father Rick defended his daughter, telling People in April: 'She was not drunk. I was told that she blew a zero on the breathalyzer. She didn't have a single drink that night. She doesn't drink.'
Amanda also tried to speak out, tweeting: 'Hey @BarackObama... I don't drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also don't hit and run. The end.'
