Gwyneth Paltrow’s scooter near-miss should have never happened. It turns out that the actress isn’t even licensed to drive in the state of California.
“If you reside in California, you have 10 days to obtain a license,” a state DMV official told “Inside Edition” after the TV show inquired about Paltrow’s DMV record.
Paltrow, 40, and husband Chris Martin, 36, moved to Los Angeles with their children earlier this summer, and have yet to apply for new licenses.
The couple was picking up their children from school on Monday, when Paltrow darted in front of a school bus on her Vespa, forcing the driver to slam on the breaks to avoid a potentially tragic accident. Making matters worse, her daughter Apple, 9, was riding with her.
A valid M1 or M2 class license is required to operate a motorized scooter in California.
