5. Mischa Barton
This starlet was arrested for driving under the influence, possession of marijuana, and driving without a license in December 2007. She was caught by police straddling lanes and not using her signal, which led to her arrest and subsequent release on $10,000 bail.
Perhaps understating the case, in April of this year, addressing her driving incompetence, she told People Magazine, “I think it is because of the way I’ve learned. It’s always been on film sets, and so you’re taught by stuntmen. They’re like, ‘Step on the gas and swerve!’”
In 2012, Barton appeared on stage in an Irish production of Steel Magnolias in Dublin. Barton’s most recent public appearance since then (outside of the police reports) was in Dancing With the Stars. Though she only finished in 11th place, she is still decidedly a better dancer than driver.
