Daddy Spears is giving Brit Brit a little more room to breathe

He knows how much she likes driving around, so he's allowed her to go for short joy rides. A source told OK! Magazine, "Britney is addicted to driving. Initially, her father wouldn't let her drive at all, but he knows how much she loves it and it calms her, so he's softened the restriction. He now lets her toodle around the block in her gated community."
