Britney Spears raised eyebrows on Friday when she was spotted sticking her head out of the sunroof while in the passenger seat of a moving car.
According to The Daily Mail, the 44-year-old singer was traveling down the crowded 101 freeway around Studio City in Los Angeles after starting her journey in Thousand Oaks.
In the photos, the “Oops I Did It Again” singer can be seen standing fully upright out of the sunroof of the black Mercedes SUV, wearing a nude dress as her blonde hair blew in the wind.
The outlet reported the singer stood up as the car was traveling around 45 miles per hour, and she remained standing for about two minutes before the car exited the freeway and pulled into a nearby gas station.
BRITNEY SPEARS SAID SHE WAS ‘AN ANGEL’ WHO COULD ‘DRINK FOUR BOTTLES OF WINE’ BEFORE DUI ARREST: POLICE REPORT
A source told The Daily Mail that Spears only “went through the sunroof for a quick moment” in order to check on the level of traffic. They added that “if it’s illegal to put your head through a sunroof, she doesn’t know it!” and that “she didn’t mean to do anything bad.”
“She wanted to see what the traffic was about up ahead because the cars came to a stop,” the source added. “She wanted to see how long they would be delayed.”
The source continued, “She used to do this all the time as a kid growing up in the South, she loves having the warm wind blow through her hair in the summer, it’s fun. She is having a fun summer and is happy, she is in a good place.”
The photos of her standing out of the sunroof come just a few months after she was arrested for driving under the influence in March.
According to documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Spears claimed she was “an angel” before officers arrested her, telling California Highway Patrol officers that she could “probably drink four bottles of wine and take care of you.”
Spears refused an alcohol screening test, but once handcuffed, officers noted they found a bottle of Adderall in her purse, which was not prescribed to her, and also discovered an “empty wine glass in the cup holder between the front driver seat and passenger seat.”

The DUI charge was dropped in May, after she pleaded guilty through her lawyers to what’s commonly called a “wet reckless.”
She was hit with fines, given 12 months of probation, time served and will need to complete a DUI course. The plea offer was standard for defendants with no DUI history, no crash or injury on the road, and a low blood-alcohol level, the county district attorney’s office said.
“Ms. Spears took responsibility for this misdemeanor offense, entering a guilty plea at the earliest stage and two months from the day she was arrested,” District Attorney Erik Nasarenko said.
A representative for Spears confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time of her arrest that the “Toxic” singer voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility.
