Britney Spears had an unusually good run of luck in California yesterday (Thursday), thanks in part to a judge who dismissed hit-and-run charges filed against her earlier this summer over a parking-lot fender-bender. She pleaded not guilty to a related charge of driving without a valid license, but won't have to deal with that case until a hearing slated for late November.
The singer also did well at the first meeting in a six-session parenting class where she and Kevin Federline will work on their conflicts and the well-being of their sons.
As usual, Spears was pursued by paparazzi when she left the class -- but one sympathetic cop forced a group of cameramen to provide identification, allowing Spears to slip away.
