Lindsay Lohan gets permission to drive car

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan has finally been permitted to drive, it has emerged.

According to sources, people at the Betty Ford clinic finally decided to hand over Lohan's keys — exactly two weeks after her license was restored by the LA County Probation Department, reports TMZ.

Earlier, Betty Ford was reluctant to let the Mean Girls star drive — because they thought paparazzi would follow her creating a dangerous driving environment.

However, according to sources, Betty Ford was proud of the way Lohan handled the delay with patience — and following phone calls from both her parents, the clinic decided it was time to hand over the keys.

But this doesn't mean that the actress can drive whenever she wants - she can only get behind the wheel when she gets a pass to leave the sober living facility.
